In contrast, former member of parliament and Awami League leader Haji Mohammad Salim and his son, ex-lawmaker Solaiman Salim, kept their distance. At one point, Nasir spoke briefly with his lawyer, while Afridi kept looking toward the gallery for his relatives. The hearing began with the case involving Nasir and Afridi -- an attempted murder charge linked to the attack on Durjoy Ahmed. The Mahfuz murder case involves the killing of student activist Shraban on Aug 5, 2024, the day the Awami League government fell. His wife, Rozina Akhter, later filed a murder case at Shahbagh Police Station on Mar 14.
