A Dhaka court has placed three private university students on a five-day remand each in connection with the seizure of lysergic acid diethylamide drug, also known as LSD, from a house in the capital.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Debabrata Biswas granted the remand to Rupal and Turja, students of North South University, and Adib, student of Independent University, on Sunday after a hearing in this regard.
The accused were produced before the Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate's Court earlier on Thursday when the investigating officer of the case sought seven days' remand for each of them.
The court then set Sunday for a hearing on the remand plea, ordering to send the accused to jail.
A team of the Detective Branch (DB) of police arrested the three students in a drive on Wednesday night on charges of being involved in the sale of LSD.
Police also seized 200 pieces of the expensive and highly dangerous psychedelic drug LSD from their home in the capital. The accused reportedly used to sell the drug for Tk 3,000 per piece.
It was the first time the narcotic substance was recovered in Bangladesh.
LSD is a hallucinogenic drug that typically alters thoughts, feelings, and awareness of one's surroundings.
Many users experience visual or auditory hallucinations, dilated pupils, increased blood pressure, and increased body temperature.
Effects typically begin within half an hour of taking LSD and can last for up to 20 hours.
