Abdul Mazed, a key fugitive convict in the killing of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, has been sent to jail following his arrest in Dhaka.
Judge AM Zulfikar Hayat of Dhaka Chief Metropolitan Magistrate’s Court passed the order after the convict was produced before the court on Tuesday, reports bdnews24.com.
No lawyer represented Mazed in court, said Jafor Hossain, deputy commissioner of DMP's Prosecution Division.
Mazed was subsequently taken to Dhaka Central Jail in Keraniganj, he added.
