A Dhaka court has put seven leaders of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party, including Saiful Islam Nirob, on a five-day remand in a case lodged over vandalising and setting Setu Bhaban in Dhaka on fire on July 18.
The other remanded accused are Shimul Biswas, Rafikul Islam Mojnu, Rashiduzzaman Millat, Syed Ehsanul Huda, Mohiuddin Hridoy and Tarikul Islam.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Nurul Huda Chowdhury passed the order as police produced them before the court and pleaded to place them on 10-day remand each.
On July 18, between 250 and 300 unidentified people stormed into the Setu Bhaban premises, vandalised many vehicles, motorbikes, ransacked different sheds and rooms and later set those on fire.
