DHAKA, Nov 11, 2025 (BSS) - Three more prosecution witnesses today testified 
in a case lodged over crimes against humanity committed in the capital's 
Rampura area during the July Mass Uprising, where a youth hanging from a 
building cornice was shot repeatedly and two others were killed.

Of the three, Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI) Md Bayezid Khan and Sub-Inspector 
(SI) Md Shahin Miah appeared as prosecution witnesses (PW)-9 and PW-10, 
respectively, and testified as seizure list witnesses before the 
International Crimes Tribunal (ICT)-1.

ASI Khan is currently serving as a field officer with the ICT investigation 
agency, while SI Miah is posted at Rampura Police Station.

The third witness, Linkon Majhi, a staff nurse at Banasree Farazy Hospital, 
testified as PW-11 and described how the hospital received around 80 to 100 
gunshot victims on July 19, 2024, and provided them with emergency treatment.

"We gave them primary treatment and referred those in critical condition to 
Dhaka Medical College Hospital. Around 4 pm, we received a call on our 
landline that a gunshot victim had been left on the roof of a three-storied 
building. Dr. Zihad sir, night guard Jahid, another person, and I went there 
and brought the victim to our hospital. We gave him primary treatment and 
sent him to Dhaka Medical College Hospital by ambulance," he said.

Linkon said he later came to know that the victim they rescued and treated 
was Amir Hossain, who had been shot repeatedly by police while hanging from 
the cornice of a building.

He further said that later police summoned Dr. Zihad, hospital manager Anwar 
Hossain, and ambulance driver Siraj, and pressured them to reveal Amir 
Hossain's address.

The prosecution submitted the formal charges in the case on August 7, 2025, 
alleging that police fired on a student hanging from a building cornice in 
Rampura and killed two others in the area.

On September 18, ICT-1 framed charges against former DMP Commissioner Habibur 
Rahman, former ADC of Khilgaon Zone Md Rashedul Islam, former OC of Rampura 
Thana Md Moshiur Rahman, former Sub-Inspector Tariqul Islam Bhuiyan, and 
former Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI) Chanchal Chandra Sarkar. Of the five 
accused, Chanchal has been arrested and is now facing trial in person.
