ICT grants investigators two days to interrogate Muzaffar
This news article from The Daily Star (Bangladesh) reports that the International Crimes Tribunal-2 (ICT-2) granted investigators two days to interrogate Major (retired) Muzaffar Hossain in connection with a crimes against humanity case linked to the July uprising. He was formally shown arrested after being produced before the tribunal around 12:45pm on August 5, 2026, having been brought in by Bangladesh Army authorities under a court order. The key context is that prosecutors allege Muzaffar maintained extensive communication over 16 years with Lt. Gen. (retired) Masud Uddin Chowdhury — a key figure from the 2007 army-backed caretaker government who is already in custody in the same case — and that Muzaffar allegedly crossed into a neighboring country while evading authorities. The interrogation is to be conducted at the Investigation Agency's safe house in Dhanmondi.
