A Dhaka metropolitan magistrate court on Saturday placed former state minister for industries Kamal Ahmed Mojumdar on a three-day remand in a case filed for the murder of Jagannath University student Ikramul Haque Sajid during the student-people uprising.
Dhaka metropolitan magistrate Md Ali Haider passed the order as the police produced him before the court with a seven-day remand prayer, court inspector Md Asaduzzaman confirmed.
A team of Kafrul police arrested Kamal Ahmed聽 Mojumdar, also former Awami League lawmaker for Dhaka-15, at his Gulshan office at about 12:30am on Saturday, said Kafrul police station officer-in-charge Kazi Golam Mostafa.
鈥楰amal Mojumdar has been named in two cases filed with the Kafrul police station, including a murder during the recent student movement,鈥� said the police officer.

Ikramul鈥檚 father filed the murder case against 73 people on September 7.
According to the case statement, Ikramul, a Master鈥檚 student of Jagannath University, suffered bullet injuries during the mass uprising at Mirpur-10 on August 4.
