Former Bangladesh Speaker Shirin Sharmin Chaudhury and ex-Commerce Minister Tipu Munshi have been arrested in connection with the murder of goldsmith Muslim Uddin Milon during recent protests over quota reforms. Munshi, 74, was apprehended by the Rapid Action Battalion in Dhaka, while a case has been filed against 17 individuals, including both officials, for Milon's death, which occurred on July 19 amid clashes between students and Awami League activists. The protests eventually led to the fall of Sheikh Hasina's government on August 5, with over 600 fatalities reported since mid-July due to subsequent violence. Police allegedly opened fire indiscriminately during the protests, resulting in Milon's fatal injury. Many senior Awami League members have gone into hiding following the government’s ousting, with Munshi himself having been in hiding since early August.
