Former Bangladesh PM Sheikh Hasina and six others, including top officials, have been accused in a murder case filed over the death of Abu Sayeed during police firing at a protest on July 19. This is the first case against Hasina since her resignation on August 5. The case, filed by Amir Hamza Shatil in a Dhaka court, alleges indiscriminate shooting by police during quota protests. The victim’s family, living in Panchagarh, reportedly lacks resources to file the case themselves. Daily Star
