Court Correspondent
A Dhaka court has rejected a five-day remand prayer for Jhenaidah Awami League leader Kazi Kamal Ahmed Babu in connection with the suspected murder of Jhenaidah-4 lawmaker Anwarul Azim Anar in Kolkata.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Akhtaruzzaman passed the order on Monday after Md Mahfuzur Rahman, investigation officer of the case, also senior assistant commissioner of the Detective Branch of Police, produced the accused with a five-day fresh remand prayer.
The court ordered law enforcers to send the accused to Jhenaidah District Jail within 10 working days.
The court also asked Mahfuzur Rahman to run a drive in presence of a first-class magistrate to recover the mobile phone that Kamal allegedly used to communicate with Shimul Bhuiyan on WhatsApp after the suspected killing of Anar.
Meanwhile, relief and social welfare affairs secretary of Jhenaidah AL Kamal was taken into custody on June 7 from Jhenaidah for his alleged involvement in the killing of Azim. Later, he was placed on a seven-day remand.
