A Dhaka court has placed the fallen Hasina-led government’s former private investment adviser Salman F Rahman, former law minister Aniusl Huq and two others on a four-day remand each in a murder case.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Judge GM Farhan Ishtiaq passed the order after hearing a petition, said the court’s public prosecutor Omar Faruk Faruki, reports UNB.
The other accused are former state minister for ICT Zunaid Ahmed Palak, and Trinomool BNP’s former president Shamser Mobin Chowdhury.
The defendants’ lawyer prayed for bail but the court rejected it.
According to the case statement, one Parvez Mia sustained bullet injuries in an attack in Dhaka’s Jatrabari area on August 5 last year.
He succumbed to his injuries while undergoing treatment at Dhaka Medical College Hospital on the same day.
Later, the victim’s mother filed a case with the Jatrabari Police Station on October 29 against the four accused.
