A Dhaka court has remanded former chief election commissioner KM Nurul Huda for another four days in a case filed by the BNP on charges of sedition and conducting an election “without the people`s mandate”.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Awlad Hossain Muhammad Jonaid gave the order after a hearing on Friday, reports bdnews24.com.
After being arrested last Sunday, the court remanded Huda for four days on Monday. After that remand, the case`s investigation officer, Sher-e-Bangla Nagar Police Station SI Shamsuzzoha Sarkar, presented him in court on Friday and petitioned for him to be remanded again for 10 more days.
Dhaka Metropolitan Public Prosecutor Omar Faruq Faruqi represented the state at the hearing while Advocate Touhidul Islam Sajib opposed the remand on behalf of Huda and petitioned for bail.
After the hearing, the court rejected the bail and allowed the former CEC to be interrogated in police custody for another four days, said Sub Inspector Rafiqul Islam of the Prosecution Police.
