The International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) has ordered Armed Police Battalion (APBn) Constable Md Sujon Hossain to be shown arrested and sent to jail in a case over the shooting of five people in the capital's Chankharpool on August 5 last year, just before former prime minister Sheikh Hasina fled the country amid a mass uprising.
The three-member ICT bench headed by its Chairman Justice Md Golam Mortuza Majumdar passed the order following a petition filed by ICT prosecution team.
The court also fixed January 23 for submitting the investigation report of the case.
Earlier in the morning, police produce Sujon, who is currently in prison in another case, before the tribunal, Prosecutor BM Sultan Mahmud said.
During the hearing, prosecutor BM Sultan Mahmud told the ICT that in a video, constable Sujon was seen firing on a procession brought out by the students and other people on August 5 at Chankharpool area near Dhaka Medical College Hospital.
On January 1, the ICT had issued arrest warrants against Sujon, who was by then arrested in a case filed with Shahbagh Police Station.
On that day, Sultan said the prosecution team had applied to the ICT to show Sujon arrested in the ICT case as well on the basis of a production warrant.
