The International Crimes Tribunal (ICT)-1 on Sunday set March 4 for delivering its verdict in a case concerning crimes against humanity committed in Dhaka’s Rampura area during the July Mass Uprising, in which a youth hanging from a building cornice was shot repeatedly and two others were killed.
The tribunal fixed the date after both the prosecution and defence concluded their arguments on February 3, when an order was passed to determine the verdict schedule.
The prosecution had submitted formal charges against five accused on 7 August 2025, alleging that police opened fire on the student hanging from the building cornice in Rampura and killed two others in the area.
On 18 September, ICT-1 framed charges against former Dhaka Metropolitan Police Commissioner Habibur Rahman, former Assistant Deputy Commissioner (ADC) of Khilgaon Zone Md Rashedul Islam, former Officer-in-Charge (OC) of Rampura Police Station Md Moshiur Rahman, former Sub-Inspector Tariqul Islam Bhuiyan, and former Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI) Chanchal Chandra Sarkar.
Of the five accused, only Chanchal Chandra Sarkar has been arrested and is currently facing trial in person.
