Former prime minister Sheikh Hasina’s advisor Salman F Rahman and former law minister Anisul Huq have been put in jail custody pending trial over the murder of Parvez Mia during the Anti-discrimination Student Movement in Dhaka’s Jatrabari. According to the case documents, Parvez joined an anti-discrimination protest in Jatrabari on Aug 5, the day the Awami League government was ousted. Anisul first became an MP from the Brahmanbaria-4 constituency on an Awami League ticket in the Jan 5, 2014 elections. That same year, he was appointed as Minister of Law, Justice, and Parliamentary Affairs in the Awami League government. Following the fall of the Hasina government, Salman and Anisul were arrested in Sadarghat on Aug 13 last year.
