Detective Police get four days to question Kalyan Party Secretary General MM Aminur Rahman, who had been missing for four months, over a 2015 bomb attack on a protest programme attended by Shipping Minister Shajahan Khan, report agencies.

Detective Police Inspector Md Zihad brought the leader of an ally of the BNP-led alliance to court on Saturday to request a 10-day remand.

Metropolitan Magistrate Debabrata Biswas granted four days' remand, SI Shaikh Raqibul Islam told the news portal.

Rahman, who went missing on the night of Aug 27, was found four months later by Detective Branch of police on Friday night after tracking his signal to Dhaka's Shahjadpur.

According to the case documents, the Freedom Fighters Council organised a protest to surround the offices of the BNP chairperson on Feb 16, 2015. The demonstration, which was attended by 20,000-30,000 people, was led by Shipping Minister Khan. The suspects allegedly conducted the attack as the protesters were surrounding the BNP chairperson's offices.

Dhaka Janbahan Union General Secretary Ismail Hossain Bachchu filed a case against BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia, Vice Chairman Selima Rahman, BNP leader Khandker Mahbub Rahman and 11 others over the incident.

A team of Detective Branch of police of Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) arrested Aminur from near 'Suvastu Tower' around 11:40 pm, said Deputy Commissioner (Media) of the DMP Masudur Rahman.
