The Bangladesh Police on Tuesday submitted a chargesheet to the Chittagong court against 38 people, including Hindu monk Chinmoy Krishna Das, in connection with the killing of lawyer Saiful Islam Alif. On Nov 26 last year, the court denied bail to Das in a separate sedition case, ordering his detention. Following the hearing, at least 20 people were injured in violent clashes between his supporters and law enforcement personnel near the court premises, during which Saiful was hacked to death. Out of the 38 people named in the chargesheet, 20, including Das, are in custody, while the remaining are absconding. The chargesheet was submitted to the court’s prosecution wing.
