Police again seek to remand MP’s son Rony
Monday, 29 June 2015
Police have sought to take into their custody Bakhtiar Alam Rony for the third time over a shooting that left two people dead at Dhaka's Eskaton, reports bdnews24.com.
MP Pinu Khan's son Rony was produced before court after a four-day remand by Detective Branch SI Deepak Kumar Das, the case's Investigating Officer, on Sunday.
Auto-rickshaw driver Yakub Ali and rickshaw-puller Abdul Hakim were killed when shots were randomly fired from a vehicle early on April 14.
The investigators sought seven-day remand to question Rony, accused of firing the shots from a black Land Cruiser Prado under the 'influence of drugs'.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Aminul Islam fixed a hearing for June 30 after Rony's lawyer refused to take part in hearing saying the defendant was ill.
The vehicle from where the bullets were shot is registered in the name of reserved seat MP Pinu Khan who is also the general secretary of Mahila Awami League.
