Dhaka, Jan. 12 -- The Police Bureau of Investigation has recommended exonerating ousted prime minister Sheikh Hasina and 112 others after failing to trace "the injured" in a case filed over the attempted murder of Shahed Ali and nine others during the July Uprising.

The PBI submitted the final report to the court on Nov 5, citing "information mistake".

Sub-Inspector Abul Bashar of the Prosecution Department said the court fixed Feb 3 for hearing the case.

The suspects in the case include Hasina's son Sajeeb Wazed Joy, Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader, former ministers Mohammed Hasan Mahmud, Mohammad Ali Arafat, Zunaid Ahmed Palak, Jahangir Kabir Nanok, and the party's leaders Mahbub Ul Alam Hanif, and Shamim Osman.
