A Dhaka court on Thursday placed former commerce minister Tipu Munshi on a four-day remand in connection with the murder of Sumon Shikder, 31, who was killed in the capital's Badda area during the anti-discrimination student movement.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Ali Haider passed the order after police produced Tipu before the court, requesting a 10-day remand, reports UNB.
Sumon Shikder was brutally gunned down in front of Fuji Tower in Badda on July 19.
Following the incident, a case was filed based on a complaint lodged by Sumon’s mother, Masuma Begum, against 179 individuals, including ousted prime minister Sheikh Hasina.
Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) arrested Tipu Munshi from the capital's Gulshan area early Thursday.
