LeT militant Malek on 4-day remand
A Dhaka court yesterday granted a four-day remand against Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) militant Abdul Malek alias Golam Mohammad in connection with the August 21 grenade attack case on an Awami League rally.
The Third Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Mohammad Ali Hussain gave the directive after Criminal Investigation Department (CID) produced the Pakistan-based LeT operative before the court seeking a seven-day fresh remand.
In yesterday's remand prayer, Abdul Kahar Akand, special superintendent of police (CID), said Golam was assisting Huji leaders and activists financially being directly involved with the militant organisation.
Golam was also present in the preparatory meeting of the grenade attack on the Awami League rally in 2004 for which he needs to be remanded to get more information, added kahar, also the investigation officer of the case.
Rapid Action Battalion members arrested Golam on October 5 from the airport railway station area.
