The three-judge panel of the ICT, led by Justice Md Golam Mortuza Mozumder, passed the order allowing a plea filed and moved by the Chief Prosecutor Muhammad Tajul Islam.

The chief prosecutor, however, refrained from disclosing the names of the three other accused over security reasons.
Meanwhile, Mohammad Limon Hossain, who lost his leg after getting shot by Rapid Action Battalion in 2011, today filed a petition to the ICT, pleading for abolishing the elite force.
Limon also pleaded for the trial of former military adviser Tarique Ahmed Siddique, former RAB official Ziaul Ahsan and RAB-8 officer Major Rashed and some others for their role in putting him through the ordeal.
