Deepan, a publisher of secular books, was stabbed to death by extremists in 2015. In late 2019, eight militants were indicted in a murder case filed on Deepan’s behalf, and in February 2021 the eight members of the extremist group Ansar al-Islam, also known as Ansarullah Bangla Team (ABT), were found guilty of his murder. A Special Anti-Terrorism court in Bangladesh sentenced all of them to death.
