Police have submitted chargesheets in 106 cases over killings and violence during the July Uprising across Bangladesh.
Of these, 31 are murder cases and 75 fall under other sections, the Police Headquarters said in a media statement on Tuesday.
It, however, did not specify the dates when the chargesheets were submitted.
The 31 murder cases are registered in Pabna, Sirajganj, Bogura, Dhaka, Narayanganj, Cumilla, Chandpur, Feni, Kurigram, Sherpur districts and with PBI, Rajshahi Metropolitan Police, Chattogram Metropolitan Police and Dhaka Metropolitan Police.
The 75 other cases are in Pabna, Sirajganj, Rajshahi, Chapainawabganj, Naogaon, Bogura, Dhaka, Narayanganj, Narsingdi, Tangail, Kurigram, Lalmonirhat, Sherpur, Jamalpur, Mymensingh, Barguna districts, as well as PBI, CID, Dhaka Metropolitan Police, Barishal Metropolitan Police, Rajshahi Metropolitan Police, Chattogram Metropolitan Police and Rangpur Metropolitan Police.
Police said investigations into other cases are ongoing to ensure the culprits are brought to trial.
The statement noted that under Section 173(A) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, interim investigation reports have been submitted to courts for 2,830 people in 437 Anti-discrimination Student Movement cases.
The 2024 movement, which began with demands for quota reform in government jobs, eventually led to the overthrow of the government.
The protest initially centred on Dhaka University before spreading rapidly across other educational institutions nationwide.
The then government responded with bullets, tear gas shells, and batons, and tried to control the situation by first blocking Facebook, then the internet. These measures, however, failed.
Carrying the heavy toll of lives and blood, the Awami League government, which had ruled for a decade and a half, was toppled within 20 days of the movement’s start, forcing Sheikh Hasina to flee the country.
The interim government’s gazette listing victims of the Uprising reports 834 deaths.
A United Nations investigation estimates that more than 1,400 people may have been killed between Jul 1 and Aug 15.
