A Dhaka court yesterday placed Mufti Izharul Islam Chowdhury, president of an Islami Oikya Jote (IOJ) faction, on a two-day remand in a case filed for abducting homeopathic physician Azizur Rahman in September 2003. Metropolitan Magistrate Shamima Parvin passed the order after CID ASP Fazlul Kabir, also the IO, produced him before it with a 10-day remand prayer. Earlier on Sunday, Izharul was shown arrested in the case.
