Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmed has said that the trial of Major Mozaffar Hossain (retd), a fugitive from the assassination case of Shaheed President Ziaur Rahman, will be conducted under the existing military law, reports BSS.

"The main trial of Ziaur Rahman's assassination was held under military court, where specific findings about the murder have been established," he told reporters after a meeting with senior Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) officials at the BGB headquarters in Pilkhana on Monday.

The minister said that police arrested Mozaffar based on intelligence information after years of living under a false identity in a neighboring country. He is now military custody for legal proceedings.
