Bangladesh's ex-PM investigated for murder
A murder investigation has been opened into Bangladesh's ex-premier Sheikh Hasina over the police killing of a man during civil unrest last month.
Six other top figures in the previous government are also being investigated following weeks of deadly unrest in the capital Dhaka.
Mamun Mia, a lawyer who brought the case on behalf of a private citizen, said the court in Dhaka had ordered police to accept "the murder case against the accused persons".
...
More than 400 people were killed in weeks of student demonstrations against Ms Hasina. Many of them were shot by the police, on her orders.
