Over 16000 ghost cases filed during AL tenure to be withdrawn: Law Adviser

The government has decided to withdraw over 16,000 ghost cases filed during the Awami League tenure, said Law Adviser Asif Nazrul.
“Some 16,429 ghost cases filed during the tenure of the AL government will be withdrawn, but 1,214 cases will be withdrawn within a week,” said Adviser Asif while speaking at a press briefing held at the Secretariat on Tuesday.
“A list of 16,429 cases has been prepared. After that each case record must be reviewed to determine whether it is genuinely a politically motivated ghost case, or it was filed through any irregularity or manipulation. If a murder case was lodged against an individual by another person, we cannot withdraw it. We are thoroughly verifying each case record before proceeding,” he said.
