The International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) on Thursday sent former additional superintendent of police Shahidul Islam of Dhaka district to jail in connection with a case filed over mass killing during the student-led movement.
The three-member bench of the tribunal led by its chairman Justice Md Golam Mortuza Mozumder passed the order when chief prosecutor Tajul Islam submitted a petition seeking to send Shahidul to jail, UNB reported.
Shahidul Islam, who was arrested from Cox’s Bazar, was produced before the court around 10:00 am.
Earlier on Wednesday, the ICT sent former deputy commissioner of DMP (Mirpur Division) Jashim Uddin to prison.
On October 27, the tribunal issued warrants for the arrest of 17 former police officers including former DMP commissioner Habibur Rahman for mass killing from July to August 5.
