DHAKA, June 22, 2026 (BSS) – A Dhaka court today showed former ministers Hasanul Haq Inu and Rashed Khan Menon arrested in a case filed over an alleged attempt to murder Md Mokhlesin in the capital’s Bongshal area during the July 2024 Mass Uprising.

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Nazmin Akter passed the order as police produced the duo before the court and pleaded to show them arrested in the case. The court later sent them back to jail.
