CHITTAGONG, Nov 1 (bdnews24.com): A Chittagong magistrate's court has given the police permission to take former state minister for Home Affairs Lutfazzaman Babar in custody for questioning in the ten-truck arms haul case.
Chittagong Metropolitan Magistrate Mahbubur Rahman permitted the five-day remand today (Monday).
Chittagong City Police Assistant Commissioner Nirmalendu Bikash Chakrabarty said that the order was given following hearing of a 10-day remand petition by Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of police.
CID investigating officer of the case Maniruzzaman Chowdhury said, "We will interrogate him at a suitable time."
Babar, who has already been shown arrested in the case, was brought to Chittagong Central Jail Friday night.
The police seized 10-truck loaded with weapons and ammunition from the Chittagong Urea Fertiliser Limited (CUFL) jetty on the night of April 1, 2004.
The arms were allegedly destined to reach the Indian insurgent group, United Liberation Front of Assam (ULFA).
The police filed two cases-one under arms law and the other for smuggling.
