False murder charges keep hitting innocent people across Bangladesh after last year's political chaos. Police arrested Mahamudul Haque, a journalism teacher at Begum Rokeya University in Rangpur. They charged him with killing a local shop owner named Samesh Uddin. The shopkeeper died on August 2, 2024 when protests rocked the city. Doctors first said Samesh had a stroke because he got scared during a police raid.
The dead man's wife waited 10 months before filing the murder case on June 3. She blamed 54 different people for her husband's death. Many believe politics drove this decision. Mahamudul had joined street protests demanding justice for Abu Sayed, a student who died at his university. His coworkers and students say someone made up the charges against him.
Fake cases like this one have spread across the country since the old government fell. People file these charges about deaths that happened during the July revolution. The current interim government claims they cannot stop citizens from making false accusations. This excuse sounds weak and unconvincing. These bogus cases hurt the entire legal system when people use courts as weapons.
The law advisor and other officials must review each case carefully. They need to punish anyone who files fake charges against innocent citizens. The justice system cannot survive if people keep abusing it for personal revenge.
