Bangladeshi cricket star and ousted politician Shakib Al Hasan has landed in big trouble as a murder case has been filed against him in Dhaka, according to local media reports.
Shakib, 37, was cleared by Bangladesh’s new interim Government last week to face Pakistan in a two-match Test series.
Rafiqul Islam, the father of the deceased Mohammed Rubel, filed the case on Thursday (22) with the Adabor Police station in Dhaka.
The case has named 156 individuals, including former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and former Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader, as accused. Around 400-500 anonymous persons are also suspect.
According to the First Information Report (FIR), on 5 August, Rebel had participated in a protest march on Ring Road in Adabor.
Throughout the rally, someone had allegedly fired shots into the crowd as part of a planned criminal conspiracy, resulting in Rubel being hit in the chest and abdomen.
Shakib is the 28th accused in the case.
