| [Bangla Daily Star] A Dhaka court yesterday placed Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami Secretary General Ali Ahsan Mohammad Mojahid on a three-day fresh remand in a case filed for killing 345 people during the country's Liberation War in 1971. Meantime, Jamaat Ameer Motiur Rahman Nizami was also shown arrested on Wednesday in the case following an application submitted by the Criminal Investigation Department. CID also prayed for a ten-day remand to interrogate Nizami. The hearing on the remand prayer will be held in the court after he is produced before the court on expiry of his remand period in another case. Metropolitan Magistrate Roksana Begum Happy issued the remand order after CID Inspector Nurul Islam Siddiqui, also the investigation officer (IO) of the case, produced Mojahid before it with a 10-day remand prayer. Earlier on Wednesday, the same court granted a five-day remand each to detained Jamaat leaders Muhammad Kamaruzzaman and Abdul Quader Molla in the same case. Freedom fighter Amir Hossain Mollah filed the case on January 25, 2008, with the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate's Court. REMAND OF MOJAHID-SAYEDEE Third Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Mohammad Ali Hussain yesterday allowed Uttara police to take Mojahid and Sayedee on a three-day remand granted earlier in connection with a case filed with Uttara police for creating anti-state activities across the country. The duo were produced before it on completion of their 13 days' remand in four cases filed with Paltan and Ramna police stations on February 12, 17 and June 20 and 26. The two along with Nizami were shown arrested on June 30 in the case and they were placed on a three-day remand. CASE AGAINST SAYEDEE The same court yesterday re-fixed July 18 for hearing on a prayer for a seven-day remand of detained Jamaat Nayeb-e-Ameer Delwar Hossain Sayedee in a case filed for attempt to kill late Prof Humayun Azad on February 27, 2004. Assailants stabbed prominent writer Humayun Azad brutally with machetes in front of Bangla Academy when he was on his way back to his residence. The court fixed the date again as CID Inspector Mostafizur Rahman, also the IO of the case, could not submit the case diary before it yesterday. The CID produced Sayedee before the court as it had fixed yesterday for hearing the remand prayer earlier. The IO on July 11 prayed for his seven-day remand. Sayedee was also shown arrested in connection with the case on the same day. REMAND OF JAMAAT LEADER'S RELATIVES Another Dhaka court yesterday placed seven people including Quader Molla's son and two sons-in-law and also Kamaruzzaman's son and nephew on a two-day remand in a case filed under section 54 of the Criminal Procedure Code. The arrestees are Quader's son Hasan Jamil and sons-in-law Zahirul Islam and Mahibullah, Kamaruzzaman's son Hasan Imam and nephew Mashqur Rahman Jitu, and Shibir activists Zaman and Monirul Huq. Metropolitan Magistrate GM Al Masud passed the order after Kotwali police produced them before it with a seven-day remand prayer. Police arrested them from the court on Wednesday on charges of attempts to deteriorate law and order on the court premises. |
