A Rajshahi court on Sunday placed Jubo League leader Jahirul Islam Rubel on a 5-day remand over allegations of shooting at protesters during the recent anti-discrimination student movement.
The Rajshahi Metropolitan Magistrate Court-1 granted a 5-day remand for Rubel.
Earlier in the morning, Boalia police placed Rubel before the court, seeking a 10-day remand for interrogation. After hearing the case, the court approved a 5-day remand.
Boalia Police Station Officer-in-Charge SM Masud Parvez said Rubel was arrested by the Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) from Cumilla late Saturday. He was then handed over to Boalia police Sunday morning.
On August 5, Rubel was spotted wearing a helmet and firing weapons at the student protesters in Rajshahi’s Alupotti area. He is a local Jubo League leader.
