Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Jashita Islam passed the order on Monday as police produced the accused before the court and pleaded to place him on a 10-day remand in the case.
Dr Mostofa Jalal Mohiuddin was arrested from Monsurabad Housing of the capital's Mohammadpur area in the early hours of the day.
