On June 6, 2025, Anindya Banerjee, Associate Editor of CNN-News18, reported that the Delhi-based think tank – Rights & Risks Analysis Group (RRAG) – claimed to have “built a case” against Muhammad Yunus. The group accused Yunus of orchestrating a series of political assassinations targeting members of the now-banned Awami League, formerly led by Sheikh Hasina, the ousted Prime Minister of Bangladesh.

According to the report, RRAG alleges that “at least” 123 Awami League members were murdered under Yunus’s authoritarian regime, with 41 individuals reportedly hacked to death in a manner reminiscent of Taliban-style executions. These shocking details have raised serious concerns among human rights observers and political analysts in South Asia and beyond.

Banerjee further noted that the so-called “comprehensive report”, reviewed by CNN-News18, is intended to be submitted as evidence to the International Criminal Court (ICC). The victims, according to RRAG, included not just mainstream Awami League members but also those affiliated with allied organizations such as the Swechchhasebak League, Chhatra League, Jubo League, Matshyajibi League, and Krishak League. The targeted killings reportedly occurred between August 5, 2024, and April 30, 2025.

The report also accuses the Yunus regime of carrying out 21 custodial deaths of Awami League activists during this period, attributing these fatalities to torture and inhumane treatment. Furthermore, RRAG claims that among the estimated 1,400 people killed between July 15 and August 5, 2024, were numerous Awami League supporters whose family members were too terrified to testify before a UN inquiry due to fear of reprisals.

It is important to note that the Yunus regime enforced a strict media blackout on Chapter 6 of the United Nations Human Rights Office (OHCHR) report released on February 12,........
