Dhaka Additional Metropolitan Magistrate Asaduzzaman Noor passed the order as police produced Nazimuddin Ahammed Babu and pleaded to keep him behind the bars until the end of the probe in the case.
Babu and his men allegedly assaulted Independent Television senior reporter Rishad Huda in the afternoon of November 20 as the latter was going through the road behind Aziz Super Market on his motorbike and honked horn to overtake a SUV occupied by Babu and his men. Irked by the horn, they started abusing Rishad, and as he protested, they started beating him mercilessly.
As the onlookers gathered at the scene and protested, the former BCL leader took the keys of Rishad's bike and fled the scene.
