Sohel Rana's brother Mohammad Ibrahim filed the case with the Court of Dhaka Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Md Sultan Sohag Uddin.
The magistrate recorded the statement of the complainant and directed the officer-in-charge of Adabor Police Station to register the complaint as a first information report (FIR).
According to the case statement, it was alleged that Rana was present in front of Adabor Police Station around 12:30pm on August 5 when a protest rally of the Anti-Discrimination Students' Movement was going on. At one stage, some unidentified persons opened fire, injuring the victim seriously.
Soon after the incident, Rana was rushed to the Shaheed Suhrawardy Hospital where doctors declared him dead.
Hasina, who resigned and fled to India amid a mass uprising on August 5, has now been accused in 22 cases, including 18 for murder, one for abduction and three for committing crimes against humanity and genocide.
Most of the other accused in the case -- including Taposh, Quader and Asaduzzaman -- have been accused in other murder cases filed over the violence centring the students' movement.
