Farabi on remand in an older case
Shafiur Rahman Farabi who has been detained in writer and blogger Avijit Roy killing case, was yesterday sent on a five-day remand in another case filed last year under the Information and Communication Technology Act.
A Dhaka court passed the order after Abdur Rouf, a sub-inspector of Sher-e-Bangla Police Station and investigation officer of the case, produced him before it.
One Mir Abdullah Harun Jewel of Agargaon filed the case on July 23 last year alleging that Farabi posted indecent comments about different religions, including Hinduism and Buddhism, on Facebook for over two years. Earlier in the day, Farabi was produced before another Dhaka court after completion of his nine-day remand in another case filed under the ICT act on March 14 for issuing threats to kill Avijit on Facebook. Farabi was arrested on March 2 and sent on a 10-day remand in the case filed on February 27 over Avijit killing.
Unknown assailants hacked to death Avijit and seriously injured his blogger wife Rafida Ahmed Bonya on the Dhaka University campus on February 26.
