US Attorney General William Barr has reopened a sprawling case against Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman’s fugitive killer Rashed Chowdhury, signaling that he could face deportation and death sentence, US magazine The Politico reports.

The government is committed to bringing the remaining five absconding killers of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman back to the country in order to execute their death sentences, Law Minister Anisul Huq said today.

The Federal Court of Canada in a judgement said Bangladesh’s application for information about the status of Bangabandhu’s killer Nur Chowdhury is valid and the disclosure of such information would not hamper the public interest.

Police have arrested the son-in-law of Sultan Shahriar Rashid, an executed killer of Bangabandhu, as he allegedly made derogatory remarks about the Father of the Nation and glorified his killers on Facebook.
