Police yesterday started quizzing the accused of a case filed over recovering the body of a sixth grader from her home in Chattogram city’s Uttar Madhyam Halishahar area early Thursday.

On Friday, a Chattogram court placed the accused AK Khan, owner of the house where the deceased lived with her family, on a two-day remand after police produced him before the court, said court sources.
