The International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) will deliver its verdict in the trial over the 1971 abduction and killing of philanthropist Ranada Prasad Saha and his son Bhabani Prasad Saha on Thursday (Jun 27).
On Wednesday (Jun 26), the three-member tribunal led by Justice Md Shahinur Islam scheduled the verdict.
The trial was concluded on Apr 24 after closing arguments by the prosecution and defence, when the court kept its verdict pending.
The trial began in June 2018 after the war crimes tribunal indicted Tangail’s Mahbubur Rahman.
According to the investigators, on May 7, 1971, Mahbubur led a group of men into the Narayanganj residence of Ranada Prasad Saha, the founder of Kumudini Welfare Trust.
They kidnapped and killed him and his son and their bodies were never found.
The ICT sent Mahbubur Rahman to prison on Jun 9 last year after indicting him for crimes against humanity, arson, murder, kidnapping and mass killing.
He has also been accused of kidnapping and killing 33 Hindus at Sahapara and killing 22 people at Madhupur. He is currently serving time at Kashimpur prison in Gazipur.
