Erfan, his bodyguard remanded

A court has granted permission to the police to interrogate suspended ward councillor Erfan Selim and his bodyguard Mohammed Zahid for three days in custody in a case over the assault on a naval officer, reports bdnews24.com.

Dhaka's Additional Metropolitan Magistrate Asaduzzaman Nur on Wednesday issued the remand order after Dhanmondi police sought seven days to grill the pair over the charges.

Meanwhile, law enforcement will also apply for a 14-day remand order against Erfan, the son of MP Haji Mohammad Selim, and his aide Zahid in two cases of firearms and narcotics, according to Chawkbazar Police OC Moudut Howlader.
