Ex-law minister Anisul shown arrested in murder case

A Dhaka court on Thursday showed former law minister Anisul Huq arrested in a case lodged over the murder of one Al Amin Hossain in the capital's Badda area on August 05.

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Md Saiful Islam passed the order as police produced Anisul before the court and pleaded to show him arrested in the case filed with Badda Police Station. The court later sent the former law minister back to jail.

Anisul was arrested from the city's Sadarghat area as he was trying to flee the capital through the waterways on August 13. He was placed on a 10-day remand the next day in a case lodged over the murder of Shahjahan Ali in the capital's New Market area.
