A Dhaka court on Wednesday placed former chairman of EXIM Bank Nazrul Islam Mazumder on a seven-day remand for interrogation in a case filed over the death of Emon Hossain Gazi in Dhaka's Jatrabari area during the mass protests on August 5.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Arifur Rahman passed the order after police produced him before the court with a 10-day remand prayer in the case, said a court staffer.
On August 28, Anwar Hossain Gazi, brother of the victim's brother, filed the case with Jatrabari Police Station against former prime minister Sheikh Hasina and 84 others.
Mazumder, also the founder of Nassa Group, was arrested from Dhaka's Gulshan area on Tuesday night.
