After 5 August, following the fall of the Hasina regime amid a bloody mass uprising, a troubling new issue has emerged across the country.
Murder cases are being filed indiscriminately, often including innocent people as the accused. In many instances, money is being demanded from the accused to have their names removed from these cases.
