The International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) on Monday sent Assistant Commissioner (AC) of Police Tanjil Ahmed and two constables in cases for involvement ‘in crimes against humanity’ during the July uprising.
A three member bench, led by ICT Chairman Md Golam Mortuza Majumdar, passed the order after hearing separate petitions, said the court’s Prosecutor BM Sultan Mahmud.
Of the arrestees, AC Tanjil is an accused in the college student Imam Hasan Bhuiyan Tayim murder case.
Tayim was shot dead during the July-August movement in Jatrabari’s Kajla area on July 20 last year.
Later, the victim’s mother Parvin Akter, wife of police inspector Md Moynal Hossain Bhuiyan, who was posted at Rajarbagh Police Lines during the movement, filed a murder case against five police personnel, including Wari division’s former deputy commissioner Mohammad Iqbal Hossain.
Constable Akram Hossain is an accused in the Hridoy murder case filed in Gazipur while another constable Hossain Ali is also charged with a murder case filed in Dhaka’s Uttara.
Earlier, the ICT ordered the authorities concerned to produce the three individuals accused in the respective cases.
The accused have been in jail since the arrests in the murder cases.
