Ex-PM in murder probe

SM Amir Hamza, described as a 'well-wisher' of store owner Abu Sayeed, filed the case at the court of Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Rajesh Chowdhury yesterday.

Mr Hamza said Mr Sayeed was killed on July 19 amid clashes during the student-led uprising, and that he had filed the case because Mr Sayeed's family did not have the capacity to seek justice.

Ms Hasina, who stepped down and fled the country on August 5, was named as a suspect in the petition together with six other people including former home minister Asaduzzaman Khan, general secretary of then-ruling Awami League party Obaidul Quader, and top police officials.

The Dhaka court asked the Mohammadpur police station to register the case.
