Hindustan Surkhiyan Desk: A Dhaka Court today placed BNP National Executive Committee Member Nipun Roy Chowdhury and six others on five-day remand each in connection with a case filed over Wednesday’s clash between BNP men and law enforcers in Dhaka’s Naya Paltan area.
Metropolitan Magistrate Satyabrata Sikder passed the order after Detective Branch Inspector Md Kamrul Islam, also the investigation officer (IO) of the case, produced them before it with a 10-day remand prayer for each.
After holding hearing, the judge rejected the petitions filed by the accused seeking bail in the case and placed them on five-day remand each.
