Ex-DMP chief Asaduzzaman on 7-day remand

FE REPORT
Former Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Commissioner Asaduzzaman Mia has been placed on a seven-day remand in connection with a case filed over the custodial death of former Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD) leader Nuruzzaman Jonny in a "crossfire" in 2015.
Judge of the Metropolitan Magistrate's Court in Dhaka, Syful Islam, passed the order after hearing a petition filed by police seeking a remand order for him.
Earlier on the day, police produced him before the court around 4:30pm and sought a 10-day remand for him.
The members of Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) arrested Asaduzzaman from Mohakhali area in the city on Wednesday.
Jonny, then general secretary of JCD's Khilgaon Thana unit, was allegedly killed in a "gunfight" with police in the capital's Khilgaon on January 20, 2015, a day after his arrest in connection with an arson case.
