A case was filed against former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and 33 others on charge of indiscriminate firing on a rally of Hefajat-e Islam at Motijheel's Shapla Chattar on May 5, 2013.
Babul Sarder Chakhari, chairman of Bangladesh People’s Party (BPP), registered the case with the court of Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Zaki Al Farabi on Sunday.
The court accepted the statement of the plaintiff and asked the officer-in-charge of the Motijheel Police Station to submit a probe report.
With this, Sheikh Hasina is now facing 11 cases, including eight for murder, one for abduction, and two for committing crimes against humanity and genocide.
