Bishwajit Murder
Two arrestees on three-day fresh remand
A Dhaka court yesterday granted a three-day fresh remand for two arrestees in connection with a case filed for the murder of Bishwajit Das during the opposition's December 9 blockade.
The arrestees, HM Kibria and Mohammad Kayyum Miah Tipu, were earlier remanded for eleven days.
Metropolitan Magistrate Mohammad Saifur Rahman passed the order after the case's investigation officer, Detective Branch of Police Inspector Tajul Islam, produced them.
Bishwajit, a 24-year-old tailor, was beaten and hacked to death by pro-Awami League student organisation Bangladesh Chhatra League activists, who took him for a pro-blockade picket involved in a cocktail blast near Bahadurshah Park in Old Dhaka.
The two are among the 11 people arrested till date over the murder. Of them, Mahfuzur Rahman Nahid, GM Rasheduzzaman Shaon and Rafiqul Islam Shakil on December 23 gave statements admitting their involvement in the killing.
Saiful Islam and Emdadul Haque were placed on different terms of remand for interrogation while the involvement of Mamunur Rashid, Faruque Hossain, Nahiduzzaman Tuhin and Mohammad Mosleuddin is yet to be found out.
