Sheikh Hasina Faces Multiple Legal Battles After Ouster

Sheikh Hasina, former PM of Bangladesh, faces several legal charges following her ouster, including a murder case filed in Bogura. Other charges include enforced disappearance, violent clashes resulting in fatalities, and accusations of genocide. Hasina fled to India amid protests, and an interim government now leads Bangladesh.

In a dramatic turn of events, a murder case was filed against Bangladesh's former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, adding to a string of legal battles she faces following her ouster.

The case, lodged in Bogura, also names Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader and involves the murder of a teacher, Selim Hossain, on August 4. Hossain, a protester against the government, was allegedly killed by party activists under direct orders from Hasina and Quader.

Sheikh Hasina, 76, fled to India on August 5 after resigning in the wake of massive student protests against the quota system in government jobs. Since her departure, multiple cases including enforced disappearances and violent clashes have been filed against her and several high-ranking members of her administration.
