The other six people, who were spared from the charges are – Jamaat leader Dr Muhammad Shafikul Islam Masud, BNP leaders Saiful Alam Nirob, Azizul Bari Helal, Moazzem Hossain Babu, Qazi Rezaul Haque Babu and Khandaker Enamul Haque Enam.

“The case was at the stage of testimony for long. No witnesses were turning up before the court for testifying in the case. Dhaka Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Ziadur Rahman today finally relieved the accused from the charges,” defence counsel Syed Joynul Abedin Mesbah told BSS.
