Accused Babu remanded
A Dhaka court yesterday placed Md Babu alias Kala Babu on a three-day remand in a case filed over murder of trader Shahinuddin in the capital's Pallabi on May 16.
Metropolitan Magistrate Md Mainul Islam passed the order after Syed Iftekhar Hossain, inspector of Detective Branch of police and also the case's investigation officer, produced him with a five-day remand prayer.
The IO said Babu is an FIR-named accused and he admitted his involvement. He was directly involved with the murder, so he needed to be remanded to get further information.
Rab arrested Babu from Pallabi on May 26 and handed him over to Pallabi police.
On May 16, a group of miscreants led by Sumon Bepari stabbed Shahinuddin to death in front of his seven-year-old son at Mirpur-12 over a land dispute with former lawmaker from Lakshmipur MA Awal.
The next day, Shahinuddin's mother, filed a case with Pallabi Police Station against 20 named people including Awal, and 13 to 14 unnamed accused.
Earlier, four including Sumon Bepari gave confessional statements before the magistrates on different dates. Two accused -- Monir and Manik -- were killed in a "gunfight" with law enforcers earlier.
Police have so far arrested 11 people including Awal in connection with the murder.
