Showaibul Islam, who was injured during the July 17 student movement, came to court to file a case in which 126 people are accused.

Showaibul’s lawyer Ashraf Hossain Chowdhury, general secretary of the Chittagong District Bar Association and newly appointed district attorney of Chattogram, pleaded with the court to accept the case and send the statement to a police station for further action.

According to witnesses, the court initially accepted the plaintiff’s statement, but tensions arose when the judge ordered Showaibul to provide the names of all the accused.

The plaintiff named only a few people, prompting his lawyer to intervene, arguing that it was impractical to list every defendant in this way. This led to a heated exchange between the judge and the lawyer. The back-and-forth became increasingly tense, with words escalating into what some described as a courtroom brawl.

At one point, Magistrate Oli Ullah, looking visibly frustrated, ordered the Police Bureau of Investigation (PBI) to investigate the case. Then the judge left the courtroom.
