A Dhaka court on Friday placed former Housing and Public Works Minister RAM Obaidul Muktadir Chowdhury on five-day remand in a case lodged over the murder of BNP activist Mokbul, reports BSS.

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Mehera Mahbub passed the order as police produced Chowdhury before the court and pleaded to place him on 10-day remand in the case.

A team of detective branch (DB) of police arrested Obaidul Muktadir Chowdhury from the city's Mirpur area early Friday.

According to the case documents, BNP leaders and activists, as part of their party program on December 10, 2022, began to gather in the capital. Marking the programme, police and AL men created a ruckus in front of the BNP headquarters in Naya Paltan on December 7. They entered the BNP office, charged batons and opened fire at the BNP men, injuring Mokbul critically.

Mokbul later died from his injuries at the hospital. The case was filed on September 30, 2024, against 256 people, including ousted prime minister Sheikh Hasina.
