After Monday’s court verdict, Hasina reacted with sharp words, saying it revealed the “brazen and murderous intent of extremist figures in an unelected government.” She added: “I wholly deny the accusations that have been made against me in the ICT.”

The court pronounced its verdict against Hasina and her two aides — former home minister Asaduzzaman Kamal and ex-police chief Chowdhury Abdullah Al-Mamun. After the order, Hasina reacted with sharp words, saying it revealed the “murderous intent of extremist figures in an unelected government.”

NIA said investigations have revealed that the accused had allegedly provided technical support for carrying out terror attacks.
