It covers incidents over a period of 25 days -- 22 days before the overthrow of the Awami League government and three days after. On Aug 5, former prime minister Hasina resigned and fled the country in the face of a student-led mass movement. On Aug 8, an interim government led by Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus took charge. At the same time, the ministry has warned the concerned parties against obtaining any benefits by providing false information on these issues.
