 Cases over July uprising: Petitions pile up to drop names

Faisal Hossain is one of the thousands of people injured during the July mass uprising. The 28-year-old was shot in the waist while pulling his rickshaw at Baipail in Dhaka's Ashulia around 11:00am on August 5, just a few hours before Sheikh Hasina fled to India.

Badly injured, Faisal was rushed to Enam Medical College Hospital in Savar, where he was treated for about 45 days. He is still unable to work.

On October 15, his wife, Tania Khatun, filed a case for attempted murder with Dhaka's chief judicial magistrate's court, which directed the Ashulia police to register the complaint as a First Information Report (FIR).

The FIR named 203 suspects, including Hasina, several top Awami League leaders and senior police officials.
