A court in Dhaka on Thursday postponed until October 8 the charge framing hearing in a case initiated against ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and 33 other individuals concerning the alleged murder of truck driver Hossain during the July-August Mass Uprising 2024.

Although on this day was designated for the hearing, prison authorities could not produce accused Zunaid Ahmed Palak before the court because he was scheduled to appear before the International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) in a separate matter.

Granting a time petition submitted by the prosecution, Judge Robiul Alam of the Dhaka Special Judge Court-4 fixed the new date for the proceedings.

According to case records, Md Hossain sustained fatal gunshot wounds in the Mohammadpur Chand Udyan area on July 19, 2024, as he was returning home after parking his truck in Gabtoli.

The victim's mother, Rina Begum, lodged the case with Mohammadpur Police Station on August 31, 2024.

Subsequently, law enforcement submitted a charge sheet on November 23, 2025, naming 34 individuals, including Sheikh Hasina, Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal, Hasan Mahmud, and Jahangir Kabir Nanak.
