Former minister Hasanul Haq Inu has allegedly threatened police guards while being produced before the International Crimes Tribunal today (20 April) in a July uprising case.

Inu and former shipping minister Shajahan Khan were escorted from a prison van to the tribunal's lock-up when the incident occurred. 

Both were brought in handcuffs and leg irons.

Witnesses said the two former ministers argued that wearing such restraints was humiliating. Inu reportedly shouted at the officers, saying, "I will destroy your entire lineage."

Before the tribunal proceedings began, Shajahan Khan raised his handcuffed hands before the judges, and said, "I am a valiant freedom fighter. This is an insult to me."

When the court called the police members engaged in the matter, a police officer, Shahidul, alleged that the accused hurled abusive remarks during their transport, including calling the officers "children of Razakars" and threatening to "deal with them."

However, from the dock, the accused leaders—Inu, Shajahan, Rashed Khan Menon, and Kamrul Islam—denied the allegations, calling them "completely false."

The tribunal said that if any accused engages in unruly behaviour, the police are authorised to take legal action. It also cautioned law enforcement against any excessive measures during the handling of detainees.
