[Sunil Barua/BenarNews] A Bangladesh court on Monday pressed charges against 12 police personnel and three police informers in the shooting death of a retired army major in July, in a case that drew international condemnation of the country’s security forces that had for years been criticized for alleged extrajudicial killings. The killing led to an uproar in the country and prompted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to assure the former army man’s family that justice would be served. According to a local human rights group, alleged extrajudicial killings by security forces have dramatically decreased since the high-profile incident. “We submitted the charge sheet before the court on December 13. Today, the court had a hearing on the charge sheet and framed charges against 12 police personnel, including Teknaf officer-in-charge Pradeep Kumar Das and Sub-Inspector Liaqat Ali, and three of their informers,” Md. Khairul Islam, the investigating officer, told BenarNews.
