Two more Biman staff remanded
A Dhaka court yesterday placed two engineers of Biman Bangladesh Airlines on a seven-day remand each, a day after their arrest in connection with a case filed over the technical glitch of Prime Minister (PM) Sheikh Hasina's flight.
Metropolitan Magistrate Nurunnahar Yasmeen passed the order after Mahbub Alam, an inspector of Counter Terrorism and Transnational Crime Unit and also the investigation officer (IO) of the case, produced them before it with a 10-day remand prayer.
The two Biman staff are Shah Alam, engineer (technician) and Najmul Haq, engineer (officer). They were arrested on Monday, according to the court sources. They were not FIR-named accused.
In the yesterday's forwarding report, the IO said that they were present during the time of checking the flight before departure. So they need to be remanded to find out vital clues about the PM's plane glitch.
Earlier, seven Biman officials were arrested and two surrendered. Of them, seven are now in jail after they were quizzed in remand for 15 days while two others are on a seven-day remand.
On November 27, a VVIP flight to Budapest with the prime minister made the emergency landing at Ashgabat International Airport in Turkmenistan after a loose nut caused an oil leak and subsequent oil pressure loss in engine-1 of the Boeing 777-300ER, according to the Biman probe.
