Bangladesh Opens Murder Probe into Ousted PM Sheikh Hasina

HeadlineAug 14, 2024

Bangladeshi authorities have opened a murder investigation into the possible role of ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in the police killing of a grocery store owner during mass student-led protests in July. Hasina resigned earlier this month and fled to India. The murder complaint is the first legal case filed against Hasina’s deadly crackdown on the weekslong protests in which Bangladeshi armed forces killed at least 300 protesters, including children, according to the U.N.
