Cop sent on remand for possession of phensedyl
A Dhaka court yesterday sent a police constable on a four-day remand following discovery of 582 bottles of phensedyl in his vehicle on Monday.
Kashim Ali, a constable at Razarbagh Police Lines, was detained with the illegal drug items.
Qayum Ali Sarder, officer-in-charge at Shabujbagh Police Station, said the drugs were discovered after Kashim had a road accident near Bashabo Buddha Mondir in the capatial's Shabujbagh area when he was driving a police jeep.
On information the police went to the spot and found two packets full of phensedyl bottles in the jeep, he said.
Later, a case was filed with the police station, he added.
But Shabujbagh police could not know the details of where the drugs came from or what Kashim intended to do with those drug items.
Later, Shabujbagh police handed the case over to the Detective Branch.
The Detective Branch produced Kashim Ali before the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Court seeking a 10-day remand yesterday.
