The International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) will announce its judgement on June 28 in a crimes against humanity case for shooting of a student hanging from the cornice of a building at Rampura in the capital during the July mass uprising.

A three-member tribunal, led by Justice Md Golam Mortuza Mozumder, set the date following completion of the cross examination from both sides. One of the accused named Assistant Sub-Inspector Chanchal Chandra Sarkar, among five, was present in the court during the case proceedings. Other four are absconding.

Chanchal Chandra Sarkar was arrested from Dighinala Police Station in Khagrachari District on charges of shooting Amir Hossain on January 26 last in this connection.

On July 19, 2024, Amir Hossain was returning home after offering Jummah  prayer. He was chased by a mob near his home and police started firing gunshots at him. At that time, Amir ran to the fourth floor of an under-construction building and took shelter.

At one stage, the police chased the protesters and climbed to the fourth floor of the building. Later, the police personnel repeatedly asked him to jump down at gunpoint.

A policeman fired several shots to scare him. At one stage, out of fear, Amir Hossain jumped and hung on the rod of the under-construction building.

Then a policeman from the third floor fired six shots at Amir and the bullets hit his legs. At one point, when the police left, Amir jumped and somehow landed on the third floor. Blood was pouring from his legs at that time.

After about three hours, a student and two doctors rescued Amir and took him to a local hospital from there he was taken to Dhaka Medical College Hospital. Amir Hossain fortunately survived this brutal incident.
