A Dhaka court on Thursday sent two people, including Bangladesh Jatiyo Party (BJP) Chairman Andaleeve Rahman Partho, to five-day remand in a case filed over setting fire to the Setu Bhaban in the capital.
The other accused is Rezaul Hasanat David, who was allegedly accused of financing the perpetrators for committing such offences.
Md Sultan Sohag Uddin, Judge of the Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Court in Dhaka, passed the order after hearing a petition.
Abu Sayeed Miah, an inspector of Detective Branch (DB) of Police and investigation officer (IO) of the case, produced them before the court with a 10-day remand prayer.
In the remand prayer, the IO said Partho declared solidarity with the students, who protested for quota reform, and he was also involved in setting fire to the Setu Bhaban.
David had an active role in financing the students for continuing the movement. So, they need to be remanded to find out vital clues about the incident.
Partho told the court that he was not involved in the fire incident. David's lawyer claimed that his client was abroad from July 13 to July 23. So, their bail petitions should be granted.
The magistrate turned down the defence pleas and placed them on a five-day remand.
