SC to hear Bangabandhu killing case from Aug 7


The Supreme Court has set August 7 to hear applications of the condemned prisoners seeking leave to appeal to overturn the High Court order that confirmed their capital punishment for killing Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman in 1975.

Court sources said Chief Justice M Ruhul Amin has constituted a 3-member bench of the Appellate Division to hear the long pending applications of the condemned killers.

Those filed the applications are Lt Col (sacked) Syed Farooq Rahman, Lt Col (retd) Sultan Shahriar Rashid Khan, Lt Col (retd) Mohiuddin Ahmed, Major (retd) Bazlul Huda and Lt Col (retd) AKM Mohuddin Ahmed deported to Dhaka from USA on June 18 and sent to jail.
