Former Shibir president on 4-day remand
A Dhaka court yesterday placed Mohammad Rezaul Karim, former president of Islami Chhatra Shibir (ICS), on a four-day remand in connection with torching of a private car at Moghbazar that killed one in June last year.
Metropolitan Magistrate Tanvir Ahmed passed the order after Detective Branch (DB) of Police Inspector Fazlur Rahman, also the investigation officer (IO) of the case, produced Rezaul before it with a 10-day remand prayer.
The car was set ablaze on June 26 last year, on the eve of the hartal called by the opposition. Car passenger Faruk Hossain was critically injured and he died at the burn unit of Dhaka Medical College Hospital on July 1.
In the forwarding report, the IO said Rezaul was involved in torching the car that left its passenger Mohammad Faruk Hossen dead. He has to be quizzed on remand to find out vital clue about the incident, the IO said.
The Shibir leader was shown arrested in the case on June 21 this year.
Defence lawyers submitted a bail petition along with cancellation of the remand prayer saying that their client was implicated in the case as part of a conspiracy to harass him.
