One of his aides, Kabir Ahmed, filed a complaint at Shahbagh Police Station after the office of the State’s top legal officer at the Supreme Court received the letter on Thursday, OC Abul Hasan said.

“Your time has ended, get ready for hell,” reads the letter.

OC Abul told bdnews24.com that police were investigating who sent the letter.

This is not the first time the attorney general, who has been dealing with war crimes cases for around seven years, has received death threat.

In a similar letter he received in January last year, the International Crimes Tribunal was also criticised.

He and the members of his family have been threatened with death on several occasions through letters and SMS.
