On the other hand, state appointed counselor Advocate Amir Hossain moved for the fugitive accused Sheikh Hasina and former Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal while Advocate Zayed Bin Amjad was present for the arrested former IGP who has already became a state approver in the case.

The ICT-1 on July 10 framed charges against former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, former Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal and former IGP Chowdhury Mamun. 

At one stage of trial of the case, the tribunal accepted a prayer of former IGP Mamun to be state approver in the case.
