A Dhaka court on Thursday placed two suspects- Mustafizur Rahman and Faisal Bhuiyan on a six-day remand in a case filed over the abduction and murder of Awami League lawmaker of Jenaidah-4 Anwarul Azim Anar.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Md Ataullah passed the order following a 10-day remand prayer by Md Mahfuzur Rahman, an assistant commissioner of the Detective Branch of Police and also the investigating officer of the case, reports UNB.
Lawyer Tapas Kumar Paul represented the state during the hearing. However, no lawyer stood for the accused.
