Four more cases have been filed against Bangladesh's ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, along with her former cabinet ministers and aides, bringing the total number of cases against her to 75, a media report said on Wednesday. Three of these cases were filed in Dhaka courts on Tuesday, while another murder case was lodged in Bogura two days earlier, as reported by PTI citing Daily Star.

Now 76, Hasina is facing 75 legal cases related to various protests. These include 63 cases on murder charges, seven for crimes against humanity and genocide, three for abduction, and two for other offences, the paper said.

One of these cases involves Hasina and 30 others, who have been sued over the death of a grocery shop owner during the quota reform protests in Dhaka's Banasree area on July 19. The victim's father filed a murder case in the court of Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Md Tofazzal Hossain, who instructed Khilgaon Police Station to register it as a First Information Report (FIR).

The same court also ordered the officer in charge of Khilgaon Police Station to file an FIR against Hasina and 26 others in connection with the death of a 14-year-old on the same day. Additionally, a third case was filed against Hasina and 50 others, accusing them of the attempted murder of a Dhaka Bar Association lawyer during the student-led quota reform protests on July 18. In Bogura, another murder case was lodged against Hasina, three local journalists, and 130 others after a 35-year-old man was shot dead on August 4, just a day before Hasina was ousted from power.

Hasina resigned and fled to India on August 5 amid massive anti-government protests led by students against a controversial job quota system. Following her resignation, an interim government was formed, with 84-year-old Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus appointed as Chief Adviser. The violent clashes that erupted across Bangladesh after the fall of Hasina's government resulted in the deaths of over 230 people, raising the death toll to more than 600 since the student protests against the job quota system began in mid-July.
