A Dhaka court on Saturday placed Hasnatul Islam Faiyaz, 17, an eleventh grade student of Dhaka College, on a seven-day remand in a case filed with Jatrabari police station, accusing him of killing a cop on July 24 during the quota protest.
Faiyaz’s uncle Md Shamim, on the premises of the Dhaka chief metropolitan magistrates court, said that Faiyaz was picked up from his house on Wednesday night but produced before the court on Saturday.
‘We have stood in front of the court every day since Wednesday to find Faiyaz, as we could not find any information about him,’ Shamim said.
He also alleged that Faiyaz informed them that he was tortured by police at Jatrabari police station after his detention.
Faiyaz’s lawyer Md Estiyak Hossain Zipu told ¶¶Òõ¾«Æ· that they submitted a petition to the court for holding a hearing at the juvenile court, considering Faiyaz’s age, but the court did not respond to the plea and placed him on a seven-day remand.
The CMM court no 27 passed the remand order following the police petition in the case.
