Additional Deputy Commissioner (Prosecution) Mofiz Uddin said Tamanna is now implicated in a separate incident under Chandgaon Police Station, where five people — Hridoy Chandra Tarua, Md Mahin, Tanvir Siddiqui, Shahidul Islam, and Fazle Rabbi — were killed in a shooting during July movement.
According to police, Tamanna played a role in supplying people and firearms to Awami League, Jubo League, and Chhatra League members who allegedly opened fire on the demonstrators.
Earlier, on the night of 15 March, police arrested her husband Sajjad from Bashundhara City in the capital.
Just two weeks later, around 2:15am on 29 March, two people were shot dead by unknown assailants in a car on Bakalia Access Road.
On 1 April, Firoza Begum, mother of one of the victims named Mohammad Manik, filed a murder case at Bakalia Police Station accusing five people, including Sajjad and Tamanna.
Currently in jail, Chhoto Sajjad faces at least 15 criminal cases, including charges of murder, illegal arms possession, and extortion.
Meanwhile, following Sajjad's arrest on 15 March, a video clip of Tamanna went viral on social media, where she was seen promising to bail her husband out despite the multiple charges against him.
In the video, Tamanna was heard saying, "We will pay bail money, bundle by bundle, to bring my husband back. Those responsible for what has happened will not be spared."
She had even said that she would bail out her husband within 10 to 12 days.
