Inu on five-day remand again

A Dhaka court has placed Jatiya Samajtanthrik Dal (JSD) President and former Information Minister Hasanul Haque Inu on a five-day remand again in a case filed over murdering truck driver Sujon during the anti-discrimination student movement.

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Saifur Rahman passed the order on Tuesday.

Sabuj Rahman, investigation officer and inspector of Mohammadpur Thana, pleaded to show him arrested in the case and sought a 10-day remand.  

A team of DB police arrested Inu from a house in Uttara on August 25.

He was placed on seven-day remand in a case lodged over the murder of businessman Abdul Wadud in city's New Market area.

Rafiqul Islam, brother of truck driver Sujon, filed the case against 79 including ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina over the murder of his brother on July 20 in the capital.
