A case of enforced disappearance was filed ✃on Wednesday against Bangladesh's deposed prime minister Sheikh Hasina and several others, including former ministers of her cabinet, on the charge of kidnapping a lawyer in 2015.
The case is the second to be filed against 76-year-old Hasina since she resigned and fled to India on 🅺August 5 following widespread protests against her A꧟wami League-led government over a controversial job quota system.
The victim of the forced disappearance, Supreme Court lawyer Sohel Rana filed the case🐎 application, The Daily Star newspaper reported.
The court of Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Farzana Shakila Sumu Chowdhury ordered the allegations t♏o be accepted as a case.
Other accused in the case include senior ministers of Hasina's cabinet, former Home Minister A𝓡saduzzaman Khan, former Law Minister Anisul Haq, former Inspector General of Police (IGP) Shahidul Haque, former Director General of Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) Benazir Ahmed, and 25 unidentified members of the RAB.
"On 10 February 2015, I was detained from Sector 5 in Uttara and forced into a vehicle. As soon⛎ as I was inside the car, I was nearly mad⭕e unconscious by electric shocks to my ears and genitals," the report quoted Rana as saying.
"After enduring various forms𒈔 of brutal torture over time, I was eventually released🎐 in August in Godagari, Rajshahi," he said.
On Tuesday, a murder case was lodged against Hasina and ღsix others over the death of a grocery shop owner during last month's violent clashes that led to the fall of her government.
Over 230 people were killed in Bangladesh in theꦗ incidents of violence that erupted across the country following the fall of the Hasina government on August 5, taking the death toll to 560 since the anti-quota🎃 protests first started in mid-July.
An interim government was formed after the fall of the Hasina-led government, and its Chief Adviser, 84-year-old Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus, announced the portfolios of his♈ 16-member council of advisors last week.
