Sheikh Hasina was the supreme commander. It is clear that Sheikh Hasina had high control over the interior minister and the police chief. It was his responsibility to take measures to stop the atrocities on the protesters.
The interior minister had supreme command over the police chief and was responsible for preventing them from committing atrocities.
The ICT had prosecuted 3 people in connection with the alleged protests in July last year. These include former prime minister Sheikh Hasina, former interior minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal and former police chief Chaudhry Abdullah al-Mamoon.
The verdict was pronounced by the ICT headed by Justice Mohammad Ghulam Murtaza Majumdar. Asaduzzaman is absconding in the case while Mamun is in custody. He has pleaded guilty. Mamoon has also become a government witness.
Sheikh Hasina has been living in India since she left Bangladesh in August 2025. She has denied all the allegations.
Last year, the student-led protests took place from July 15 to August 15. More than 1,400 people were killed in the month-long protests.
