SYLHET, Mar 11 (UNB): A court placed on Sunday the parents and an uncle of Faizur Hasan, who attacked Prof Muhammed Zafar Iqbal of Shahjalal University of Science and Technology (SUST), on remand on different terms.

Haridas Kumar, judge of Sylhet Metropolitan Court, put father Atikur Rahman and uncle (maternal) Fazlur Rahman on a 5-day and mother Minara Begum on a 2-day remand after police produced them before the court seeking a 7-day remand for each, said Amulya Kumar, assistant commissioner of police (prosecution) of the Sylhet Metropolitan Police.
