Paltan Killings
Probe report on Hasina to be submitted today


A probe report on the involvement of Awami League chief Sheikh Hasina and 45 others with the Paltan killings on October 28 last year will be submitted today.

Suspending the operation of arrest warrants issued on April 22 against Hasina and two others, a Dhaka court on the next day ordered a further investigation into the matter following a petition by the investigation officer (IO).

The court had also directed the IO to probe the matter and fixed today for submission of the report.

On April 11, Criminal Investigation Department pressed charges against Hasina, AL General Secretary Abdul Jalil, Workers Party President Rashed Khan Menon, Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal President Hasanul Haque Inu and 42 others for killing five Jamaat-e-Islami activists and injuring several others.
