Inu is the sole accused in a crimes against humanity case over the killings of six people in Kushtia during the July uprising.

Referring to one of the three witnesses, the defence said the claim that Inu directed Hasina to use lethal force was baseless. It sought to play two audio recordings, arguing there was no evidence that Inu incited violence and claiming he had supported the student movement.

The defence also said another witness incorrectly claimed Inu was elected MP in the 2024 elections, which was later acknowledged as inaccurate by the investigating officer during cross-examination. A third witness referred to an interview on “Mirror Now” in Bangla, while the submitted version was in English.

The hearing continued for the seventh day and was adjourned until today.
