A court here on Monday placed former Rab official Lt Col Tareque Sayeed on a fresh five-day remand in connection with the sensational Narayanganj 7-murder case.
Narayanganj Senior Judicial Magistrate Chand Nirupam passed the order when police produced him before the court seeking seven-day remand.
Earlier, Tareque was remanded four times in connection with the same case.
Besides, two other ex-Rab officers Major Arif Hossain and Lt Commander MM Rana – who were dismissed along with Tareque Saeed, the son-in-law of Minister Mofazzal Hossain Maya – confessed to their involvement in the seven murders, and described the brutalities before the local court on June 4 and 5.
On May 17, police arrested Tareque and Arif from Dhaka Cantonment for their alleged involvement in the killing of the seven people.
Rana was arrested a day after.
On April 27, NCC panel mayor Nazrul Islam, his three associates and driver were abducted from the Fatullah area in Narayanganj. Hours into their abduction, senior lawyer of the Narayanganj District Judge’s Court, Chandan Kumar Sarker, and his driver were abducted while on their way to Dhaka.
Three days into their abduction, the bodies of six people, including that of Nazrul and Chandan, were recovered from the Shitalakhya and Dhaleshwari rivers. The next day, the body of Jahangir, the car driver of Nazrul Islam, was recovered from the Shitalakhya River.
