A court on Monday placed ex-principal secretary to the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) Nazibur Rahman and former home secretary Md Aminul Islam Khan on three-day remand each in a case lodged over the murder of Jubo Dal leader Shamim.
Dhaka Additional Metropolitan Magistrate Mahbubul Haque passed the order as police produced Nazibur, also the former National Board of Revenue (NBR) chairman, and Aminul before the court and pleaded to place them on 10-day remand, reports BSS.
Detective branch (DB) of police arrested Nazibur Rahman from the capital's Ramna area on Sunday night, while Aminul was from the capital's Banani area around 5pm on Sunday.
According to the case documents, BNP called a grand rally on October 28, 2023. To foil this program, Awami League too called its own grand rally in the capital. At one stage, Awami League goons, with the help of police, attacked BNP's rally in Naya Paltan, killing Shamim on the spot.
