Today was initially set for the submission of the investigation report. However, the prosecution, representing the investigation agency, sought an additional two months to complete the investigation. After the hearing, the tribunal granted the request and ordered the report to be submitted within that period.
Additionally, the police produced the three accused before the tribunal. Apart from Henry, the other two are district Awami League leader Md Shamim Talukder Labu and Md Abu Musa.
During the uprising, various incidents of violence occurred in Sirajganj, similar to other parts of the country, leaving three people dead and several others injured.
