A Cox’s Bazar court on Sunday placed two suspects on three-day remand each in a case filed over the murder of Rohingya leader Mohibullah.

Cox's Bazar Senior Judicial Magistrate Tamanna Farah passed the order around 11:30am after the Rohingya suspects — Mohammad Selim alias ‘Lomba Selim’ and Shawkat Ullah — were produced before the court.

Chandan Kumar Chakrobarty, inspector of the court, said police on Saturday afternoon produced the two before the court and sought seven days to grill them in custody.

The court, however, set Sunday for the remand hearing after sending them to jail, he added.

Earlier, the Armed Police Battalion arrested Selim on Friday while police apprehended Shawkat on Saturday in connection with the murder of Mohibullah.

The law enforcement agencies have arrested four people so far over the murder.

Unknown assailants gunned down Mohibullah in his office at Kutupalang camp in Ukhiya on Wednesday night.

Mohibullah’s brother Habibullah on Thursday night filed a case with Ukhiya police station, accusing unidentified people of killing his brother.

Meanwhile, Foreign Minister AK Abdul Momen on Saturday vowed to bring the killers of Mohibullah to justice soon.

Momen is the first person from the Bangladesh government to react to the Rohingya leader’s murder that sparked off global condemnation.

The minister said that a vested quarter killed Mohibullah as he wanted to return to Myanmar, his home country, reports UNB.
