Mujahid, who led that notorious Al-Badr force during the Liberation War, had planned the killings of Bengali intellectuals in the dying days of 1971.
Shaon was elated to see justice served four decades after her father was killed and termed the development the “biggest accomplishment” of her life.
“The execution of the verdict and their appeals for mercy were both significant developments,” Shaon, who lost her father after her third birthday, said.
Her voice was straining with excitement when she was giving her reaction to bdnews24.com over the phone. She was frequently taking pauses while expressing her feelings.
