The investigating officers in the two cases petitioned for the suspects to be remanded after bringing them to the court on Monday. Faruqi, representing the state, moved for the remand petition while the defence lawyer opposed it. The judge announced the decision after hearing from both sides.

Salman, Anisul, Inu, Menon, and Mamun were remanded for five days in the murder case of a man named Jishan. Anisul, Menon, Inu, and Mamun were also remanded for another five days in the murder case of a man named Mehedi Hasan.
