Police seek fresh remand of Rony

Police have once again appealed to the court for taking Awami League MP Pinu Khan's son Bakhtiar Alam Rony on remand, reports bdnews24.com.

Investigation officer sub-inspector (SI) Deepak Kumar filed a plea with court of Dhaka's Chief Metropolitan Magistrate on Sunday to take the 42-year-old on a seven-day remand.

Magistrate Aminul Haq has fixed June 24 for hearing of the remand plea since the accused was not present at the court.

Rony has been sent back to jail after a four-day police remand.

On April 13, around 1:45 am the MP's son randomly fired from his car near the city's New Eskaton area, killing auto rickshaw driver Yakub Alli and rickshaw puller Abdul Halim.

A case was filed by Hakim's family on April 15. On May 31, police arrested Rony and the driver Imran Fakir.

Confessional statements given to the court by Rony's friend Kamal Mahmud, who was in the car during the shooting, and the driver, Imran Fakir, said it was the MP's son, who fired the shots.
