A Dhaka court has placed Barrister Andaleeve Rahman Partho, chairman of the Bangladesh Jatiya Party (BJP), on a three-day remand in a case filed over vandalising and setting fire to the Setu Bhaban in Dhaka on 18 July, reports UNB.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Saiful Islam also placed two other accused in the case - Titumir College student Md Nazmus Sakib and Dhaka International University student Tawhidul Ibnul Badar Safwan Islam, on a 4-day remand each on Tuesday.
Earlier, Partho was produced before the court with a 10-day remand prayer upon completion of five-day remand in first phase, said the case's Investigation Officer Abu Sayeed Mia, inspector of Detective Branch's Cantonment Zone.
Moreover, a 10-day remand was sought for accused Sakib and Safwan each.
Though the lawyers representing the accused appealed for rejecting the remand prayer, the state side opposed it, said Shah Alam, an official of the general registration section under Banani police station of the court.
Andaleeve was arrested around 1:00 am on 25 July from his residence in the capital's Gulshan.
