Police have been granted five days to grill Muhith Alam for suspected involvement in torturing 13-year-old Samiul Alam Rajan to death in Sylhet. The court of Sylhet's Second Metropolitan Magistrate Farhana Yasmin granted the remand on Monday. Investigator Jalalabad Police Station OC Alamgir Hossain moved the court for a week's remand on Sunday. Locals caught Alam and handed him over to police after the murder on July 8 when he was trying to take away the body in a microbus. Jalalabad police later filed a case against Alam, his brother Kamrul Islam, Ali Haider, and Moyna Mia. Rajan was beaten to death on July 8 after being accused of stealing a rickshaw van at Kumargaon of Sylhet Sadar Upazila. One of those who tortured had filmed the shocking footage and released it on a social networking site. The 28-minute video clip created a furore on the social media after it went viral on the internet, according to a news agency.
