The Savar Model Police Station has submitted the first charge sheet in the Dhaka Chief Judicial Magistrate Court against ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in connection with the murder of fish trader Nabi Nur Morol during the July–August Mass Uprising of 2024.

A total of 114 people, including Sheikh Hasina, Obaidul Quader, Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal, Dr. Enamur Rahman, and Advocate Qamrul Islam, have been named as accused in the case over Morol’s killing.

According to the charge sheet filed by Sub-Inspector Foysal Alam, Morol had joined an Anti-Discrimination Student Movement rally on 20 July 2024 at the Wapda Road area under Savar Model Police Station.

The document alleges that the accused, allegedly incited by Sheikh Hasina, Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal, and Obaidul Quader, opened fire on the protesters with pistols, shotguns, and other weapons.

“One bullet fired from the pistol of Manjurul Alam Razib struck Morol in the abdomen and exited the other side. He was taken to Savar Enam Medical Hospital, where he died the following day,” the charge sheet states.

Morol’s widow, Aklima Begum, filed the case on 4 September 2024. After more than a year of investigation, police submitted the charge sheet, confirming the allegations against all 114 accused.

“I have filed the charge sheet against 114 accused, and the allegations against them were found to be true,” said the investigating officer.

Expressing satisfaction over the submission, Aklima Begum called for justice for her late husband.
