DHAKA, Sept 04, 2025 (BSS) - BNP's Legal Affairs Secretary Barrister Kayser Kamal today said that apex court's judgment, that upheld the acquittal of all the people convicted in two cases filed over the August 21, 2004 grenade attack, proves that BNP's acting chairman Tarique Rahman is innocent.

"Sheikh Hasina implicated Tarique Rahman in the case out of her personal vengeance," he said while talking newsmen after today's judgment of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court (SC).

"Sheikh Hasina never truly wanted justice in the August 21 grenade attack cases. If she had genuinely sought justice for the real perpetrators and for the killing of Ivy Rahman, she would not have included Tarique Rahman in the case out of political vendetta," Barrister Kayser Kamal added.

The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court earlier in the day upheld a High Court verdict that acquitted all those convicted by a lower court in the two cases filed over the August 21, 2004, grenade attack on an Awami League rally on Bangabandhu Avenue in the capital.

Dismissing the state's appeal against the High Court verdict, a six-member Appellate Division bench led by Chief Justice Syed Refaat Ahmed unanimously delivered the judgment, along with observations.
