Mahmudur given 3-day police remand


A Dhaka court on Wednesday granted a three-day police remand for daily Amar Desh acting editor Mahmudur Rahman in a case filed with Ramna Police Station.

Metropolitan Magistrate Harun-Ur Rashid passed the order at about 12:30 pm as sub-inspector Mir Rezaul Islam of Ramna thana, also the investigation officer of the case, produced Mahmudur Rahman before the court with a 10-day remand plea.

Mahmudur Rahman, who represented himself in the hearing, said he would not plead for canceling remand or seek bail because he was aware of his fate.

On February 22, some people, instigated by a report published in the daily Amar Desh against Ganajagaran Mancha at Shahbagh in the city, proceeded to break the mancha.

As police obstructed the unruly people on the way, this triggered a fierce clash during which several vehicles were damaged and few crude bombs exploded.

Later, Ramna thana police filed a case against many people, including Mahmudur Rahman, on charge of vandalizing, torching vehicles, exploding crude bombs and obstructing police from discharging their duties.
