Dhaka:
A court in Bangladesh opened a murder investigation into ousted ex-premier Sheikh Hasina and six top figures in the previous government over the police killing of a man during civil unrest last month.
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", the first step in a criminal investigation under Bangladeshi law.
