A Dhaka court has set 26 July for a hearing on the framing of charges in a murder case filed against former prime minister Sheikh Hasina and 33 others over the killing of truck driver Md Hossain during the July Mass Uprising of 2024.
However, Judge Robiul Alam of Dhaka Special Judge Court-4 deferred the proceedings on Thursday after the prosecution sought additional time.
According to the case documents, Hossain was shot in the Chand Udyan area of Mohammadpur on 19 July, 2024, while returning home after parking his truck in Gabtoli area.
He later died from his injuries.
The victim’s mother Rina Begum lodged the case with Mohammadpur Police Station on 31 August, 2024.
Investigators submitted a charge sheet on 23 November, 2025, naming 34 accused, including Sheikh Hasina, former home minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal, former foreign minister Hasan Mahmud, and former minister Jahangir Kabir Nanak.
The court is expected to consider the charges against the accused at the next hearing on 26 July.
