Ramna police have submitted a 10-day remand prayer to quiz nine people, including general secretary of Trade Union Centre (TUC), in a case filed over assaulting officials and employees of BGMEA in January. 

Sub-inspector Abdul Kuddus of Ramna Police Station, also the case's investigation officer, on Tuesday submitted the petition before the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate's Court of Dhaka.

The court, however, fixed April 8 for hearing on the remand prayer.  

The accused are: TUC General Secretary Jolly Talukder, Organising Secretary KM Mintu, International Secretary Monju Moin, Bangladesh Communist Party (CPB) Central Committee Member Sajedur Rahman Shamim, TUC Gazipur District Unit General Secretary Jalal Howlader, Savar-Ashulia unit Lutfor Rahman and its Central Committee Member Mohammad Shahjahan, and Rassel and Munna, employees of the TUC.   

Rassel and Munna were earlier arrested and they are in jail.

On April 1, Metropolitan Magistrate Md Mazharul Haque sent seven of the accused to jail after rejecting their bail in the case. The same court also granted bail to Advocate Mantu Ghosh, president of TUC.

On January 31, Maj (retd) Rafiqul Islam, additional secretary (administration) of BGMEA, filed an attempt to murder case against 12 people with the police station.
