A Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Court on Tuesday placed Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal-Jasod president and former information minister of Awami League-led government, Hasanul Haq Inu, on seven-day remand in a murder case filed with New Market police station.
Metropolitan Magistrate Mohammad Md Ali Haider passed the order, responding to a petition filed by the police seeking a 10-day remand for the interrogation, New Market police station general recording officer Mohammad Liakat Hossain said.
On Monday, Hasanul Haq Inu was arrested at the capital鈥檚 Uttara area and later taken to the detective branch of Dhaka Metropolitan Police.
Abdur Rahman, brother-in-law of victim Abdul Wadud, filed the case with the New Market police station on August 21 against 130 people, including deposed prime minister and AL president Sheikh Hasina and AL general secretary Obaidul Quader and Hasanul Haq Inu.
Inu is close ally to the deposed prime minister Sheikh Hasina, while Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal-Jasod is one of the most active parties of AL-led political alliance.
Hasina resigned and fled to India on August 5 amid a student-led mass uprising.
