A Narayanganj court has granted five-day fresh remand to ex-RAB officers Lt Col Tarek Sayeed Mohammad and Major Arif Hossain for interrogation over their alleged involvement in the murder of seven people.
Senior Judicial Magistrate HM Shafiqul Islam passed the order after the police produced him before the court seeking seven-day remand on Friday afternoon.
On May 22, the former RAB officers were placed on an eight-day remand in two murder cases — one filed over the murder of seven people and another for the murder of lawyer Chandan Sarkar.
The two sacked RAB officers were arrested from Dhaka Cantonment on May 17, for their alleged involvement in the abduction and killing of seven people in Narayanganj.
Narayanganj City Corporation panel mayor Nazrul Islam and lawyer Chandan Sarkar along with five others were killed and their bodies were dumped into River Shitalakkhya after they were abducted on April 27.
The family members of Nazrul alleged that RAB 11 Commanding Officer Lt Col Tareq Sayeed Mohammad and two other RAB 11 officials – Major Arif Hossain and Lt Commander SM Masud Rana – killed all the seven persons for Tk6 crore.
On April 28, the authorities concerned had withdrawn all the three RAB-11 officials along with the Narayanganj superintendent of police and the deputy commissioner.
