Tureen Afroz sent to jail after remand

A Dhaka court has ordered to send Barrister Tureen Afroz, former senior prosecutor of the International Crimes Tribunal (ICT), to jail after a four-day remand in an attempted murder case. 

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Sarah Farzana Haq passed the order on Saturday (April 12) after police produced her before the court.

Earlier, a Dhaka court placed Barrister Tureen Afroz on a four-day remand in an attempted murder case. 

On March 27 this year, a student named Abdul Jabbar filed the case with Uttara West Police Station against former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and 49 others. 

Jabbar suffered bullet wounds in the Uttara West area on August 4 last year. 

Earlier on Monday night, police arrested Barrister Tureen Afroz in connection with the case from her residence in Uttara Sector-3 in the capital.
