 Sheikh Mujib's assassin ex-military officer arrested 45 years after his death

According to the foreign news agency, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was killed in a military coup on August 15, 1975, after which several soldiers were arrested for their murder.

Abdul Majeed allegedly fled to India during the court proceedings, but later in 1998, a local court sentenced a dozen army officers, including Abdul Majeed, to death for the murder of Sheikh Mujib.

The Bangladeshi Supreme Court upheld the judicial verdict in 2009, only a few months after the other five accused were hanged.current world news
