Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (CMM) Court Wednesday remanded controversial businessman Giasuddin Al Mamun for seven more days to allow the police to further question him in a corruption case, report agencies.
The investigating officer appealed to the CMM Court for Dhaka to hold Mamun, a friend and close business associate of BNP first Joint Secretary General Tarique Rahman, on 15 days' remand.
