A Dhaka court on Wednesday placed the Bangladesh Awami League organising secretary Ahmad Hossain and former chairman of the Chittagong Port Authority Rear Admiral Mohammad Sohail, who was sacked from the Bangladesh Navy, on a 4-day remand in a case filed over the killing of Jubo Dal leader Nabin Talukdar in the capital’s Paltan area during the student movement.
Magistrate Jasim Uddin of the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (CMM) Court passed the order today.
