Sinha Murder: 3 accused placed on remand

A Cox's Bazar court placed three accused on a three-day remand each in one of the cases filed over the murder of Major (retd) Sinha Md Rashed Khan.

Rapid Action Battalion (Rab) prayed four-day remand for each of the accused but Judge Tamanna Farah of Senior Judicial Magistrate Court-4 in Cox's Bazar granted three-day remand for each.

The three accused -- Nurul Amin, Nizam Uddin and Ayas Uddin -- were also mentioned as witnesses in two other cases filed by police in connection with the killing incident.

Rab members produced the three before the court around 12:15pm for taking them into custody for the third time, said Rab's Senior Assistant Superintendent of Police Khairul Islam.

Before taking them to court, the three were taken to Cox's Bazar Sadar Hospital from jail for health check-up around 11:00am.

On August 9, a Rab team arrested the three from Marishbunia village for their alleged involvement in Sinha's killing.

Meanwhile, OC Pradeep was sent to Cox's Bazar District Jail after one day remand.

The investigation officer placed him before the court yesterday evening.

With his last remand, Rab had taken OC Pradeep a total 15 days remand in four phrases for quizzing.
