Inspector Nazrul Islam from Adabar police station confirmed that Shakib Al Hasan, a former cricket captain, and actor Ferdous Ahmed have been named in a murder case in Dhaka. They are accused of being involved in the killing of a garment factory worker named Mohammed Rubel.
The complaint was filed by Rubel’s father, Rafiqul Islam, who said that hundreds of people, including Shakib Al Hasan and Ahmed, were involved in the crime.
Both Shakib Al Hasan and Ahmed were previously members of parliament from the Awami League party (ALP), which was led by Sheikh Hasina, who recently stepped down as prime minister after student protests.
