প্রসিকিউটর জোহা স্বীকারোক্তি আদায়ে হত্যার হুমকি দিয়েছিলেন, ট্রাইব্যুনালে দাবি আসামির

Former ASI Chanchal Chandra Sarkar, an accused in a crimes against humanity case, has alleged that prosecutor Tanvir Hasan Joha threatened him to extract a confession. During a retrial deposition, Sarkar claimed Joha coerced him to admit guilt for shooting a young man during the July uprising. When Sarkar refused, he stated Joha threatened to kill him and later his close relatives. This deposition came after a video surfaced, purportedly showing Sarkar admitting to the shooting, which the tribunal ruled as authentic and not AI-generated. The case involves five defendants, with Sarkar being the only one in custody.

This development raises serious questions about the integrity of evidence and prosecutorial conduct in a high-profile international crimes tribunal case.
