Former state minister for home Lutfozzaman Babar was further remanded yesterday for three days in an arms case while Bengal Group Chairman Abul Khair Litu sent to Dhaka Central Jail on 30 days detention.
Dhanmondi police pressed charges against arrested BNP leader and former communications minister Nazmul Huda and ex-BNP lawmaker Salahuddin Ahmed and his son in separate cases the same day.
Investigation officer (IO) produced Babar before the court of Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Dhaka, with a prayer for five days' fresh remand to quiz him about the source of an illegal firearm that was recovered from his possession during his arrest. Defence lawyers submitted a petition seeking cancellation of the remand prayer. They argued Babar need not be remanded again, as the firearms and ammunition have already been seized from his possession. |
