Sub-Inspector Golam Mukti Mahmud of the Secretariat Security Division lodged the case late on Tuesday. A Dhaka court accepted the case on Wednesday and directed police to submit an investigation report by Aug 28.

The charges include unlawful assembly, obstruction of public servants, attempted murder, and damage to public property.
