A Bangladesh court has ordered the police to submit an investigation report by November 28 pertaining to a murder case against former prime minister Sheikh Hasina and 23 others, several media outlets disclosed on Saturday.

The case, related to the death of an 18-year-old student in Mirpur, Dhaka, during student protests against a job quota system, highlights the turbulent end of Hasina's Awami League government. The unrest culminated in Hasina fleeing to India amid accusations of human rights violations.

A Dhaka court officially demanded the report submission following the victim's brother alleging the accused, including top political figures, were involved in inciting the violence. Additionally, Hasina faces a host of other charges, including murder and crimes against humanity.
