A Dhaka court on Sunday framed charges against nine people, including prime accused Mohammad Ishtiaque, in a case filed over the attack on the convoy of former US Ambassador to Bangladesh Marcia Bernicat in 2018.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Nurul Huda Chowdhury framed the charges and set December 6 for the testimony.
Mohammad Ishtiaq Mahmud is the brother-in-law of Sushashoner Jonno Nagorik`s (Sujan) secretary Badiul Alam Majumder.
On August 4, 2018, some 30 unidentified miscreants attacked the car of Bernicat, who was about to leave the residence of Badiul Alam around 11:00pm after attending a courtesy dinner in her honour.
Six days later, Badiul Alam filed the case with Mohammadpur Police Station on August 10, 2018.
The nine accused were formally charged on March 1, 2022, and the trial commenced on March 28 of the previous year.
