Tureen Afroz sent to jail custody

Former International Crimes Tribunal prosecutor Tureen Afroz has been sent to jail following her remand for interrogation in connection with the "attempted murder" of a student during the Anti-discrimination Student Movement, reports bdnews24.com.

The court of Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Sarah Farzana Haque issued the order after rejecting her bail plea on Saturday.

Sub-Inspector Suman Mia of Uttara West Police Station, the investigation officer of the case, appealed to the court to send Tureen into jail after her four-day remand.

The defendant's lawyer, however, applied for bail, which Public Prosecutor Omar Faruq Faruqi opposed.

The court ordered the accused to be sent to jail after the hearing, SI Atikur Rahman Khan from the prosecution police confirmed.
