A Dhaka court granted a five-day remand for former Awami League lawmaker Haji Mohammad Salim in a case filed over the death of Khalid Hasan Saifullah, a 11th grader, in the capital’s Lalbagh area on July 18 during the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement.

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Md Akteruzzaman passed the order on Monday (September 2) after sub-inspector (SI) of Lalbagh Police Station Akkas Miah, also the investigation officer of the case, produced him before the court with a 10-day remand prayer in the case.
