Faisal’s aide on six-day remand

A Dhaka court yesterday placed suspect Rubel Ahmed, an aide of prime accused Faisal Karim Masud, on a six-day remand in a case filed over the killing of Inqilab Moncho’s spokesperson Sharif Osman Hadi.

Dhaka Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Jashita Islam passed the order after the Criminal Investigation Department produced him before the court with a 10-day remand prayer, said a sub-inspector working at the court.

Rubel Ahmed was arrested from the Ati Nayabazar area of Dhaka’s South Keraniganj early yesterday.

On December 12 last year, Hadi, an independent aspirant for the Dhaka-8 constituency, was shot in the Paltan area while campaigning. He died on December 18 while undergoing treatment in Singapore.

On December 14, Inqilab Moncho’s Member Secretary Abdullah Al Jaber filed an attempted murder case with Paltan Model Police Station against Faisal and several unnamed individuals, which later turned into a murder case.
