A court here today placed former Barguna-1 lawmaker Dhirendra Debnath Shambhu on a six-day remand in a case lodged over the murder of trader Abdul Wadud.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Sharifur Rahman passed the order as police produced Shambhu before the court and pleaded to place him on a 10-day remand. The defence, however, argued for Shambhu`s bail. After hearing both sides, the court placed the former lawmaker on a six-day remand.
Detective Branch (DB) of the police arrested Shambhu from the capital`s Uttara area on November 11.
Abdul Wadud was killed in the city`s New Market area on July 19 last during the recent anti-discrimination student movement.
Wadud`s relative Abdur Rahman filed the case on August 21 against 130 people including ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, Obaidul Quader, Anisul Huq, Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal, Salman F Rahman and Amir Hossain Amu.
