Bangladesh Violence: A murder case has been registered against former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and six others over the death of a grocery shop owner during violent clashes last month. Information about this came to light in media reports on Tuesday. This is the first case registered against Hasina (76), who resigned and came to India last week after widespread protests against her Awami League-led government over the controversial job reservation system.

According to the Dhaka Tribune newspaper, the case has been registered by a well-wisher of grocery shop owner Abu Sayeed, who was killed in police firing during a procession taken out on July 19 in support of the reservation movement in Mohammadpur. Other accused include Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader, former Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal and former Inspector General of Police Chowdhury Abdullah Al Mamun.

So many people have died

According to the report, several police officers and government officials have also been made accused in the case. More than 230 people have been killed in incidents of violence that erupted across the country after the fall of the Hasina government on August 5 in Bangladesh. The total number of people killed in this violence has risen to 560 since the first anti-quota protests began in mid-July. An interim government has been formed in Bangladesh after the fall of the Hasina-led government and 84-year-old Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus has been made its chief advisor.
