Jubo Dal President Syed Moazzem Hossain Alal was admitted to Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) after he complained chest pain this evening.
A Dhaka court today placed Alal on a three-day remand in a case filed for assaulting police and preventing them from discharging their duties in Dhaka’s Chawkbazar area on Wednesday.
He was taken to the children’s ward at DMCH with chest pain around 8:00pm and later, after examination, admitted in bed number 602 of medicine ward, a hospital source told The Daily Star.
Earlier in the day, Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Ali Masud Sheikh passed Alal’s remand order after Ilias Hossain, a sub-inspector of Chawkbazar Police Station and also the investigation officer of the case, produced the accused before the court with a 10-day remand prayer.
In the remand prayer, Alal was termed an instigator though he was not made accused in the first information report.
Alal, claiming himself ill, told the court that he was not present at the place of occurrence.
A patrol team of Mohammadpur police picked up Alal from his Lalmatia residence last night on charges of planning destructive activities.
