Suspect on remand over Amit Muhuri muder in Ctg jail
Tuesday, 4 June 2019
Police have been granted five days to grill Ripon Nath, who is accused of murdering fellow Chattogram Central Jail inmate Amit Muhuri, reports bdnews24.com.
Chattogram's Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Mohiuddin Murad passed the order on Monday after hearing an application by the Detective Branch of Police (DB).
Amit, a former Jubo League worker, was struck with a brick on the back of his head in room No 6 of the central jail's Cell No 32 on May 29. He was later taken to Chattogram Medical College Hospital where he died while receiving treatment.
The man accused of fatally wounding Amit is a 28-year-old former garment factory worker who was arrested in April on charges of holding his former colleagues hostage at knifepoint after losing the job for rude behaviour.
A case was filed with the Kotwali thana by Chattogram Central Jail's Nashir Ahmed as plaintiff against Ripon Nath.
Ripon was shown arrested in the case by the DB who sought a 10-day remand to question Ripon after assuming the duty to investigate the matter.
