14-day remand sought for 24 Chhatra Odhikar activists
Police have submitted a 14-day remand prayer to quiz 24 leaders and activists of Bangladesh Chhatra Odhikar Parishad, including its Dhaka University unit president Akhter Hossain, in two attempted murder cases filed by Chhatra League men.
Hearing on the remand prayers was supposed to be held today. But the court could not hold the hearing as the investigators were not present at the court today (October 16, 2022).
The magistrate, however, fixed October 20 for hearing on the remand prayers in presence of the investigators. The magistrate asked the jail authorities to produce all the 24 accused before it on the scheduled date.
Two sub-inspectors of Shahbagh Police Station, also the IOs of the cases, on Saturday (October 15, 2022) submitted two separate petitions for quizzing them about the incident.
On October 11, another Dhaka court rejected bail petitions submitted by the leaders and activists, who were attacked by Chhatra League men on Dhaka University campus on October 7.
The victims were sued, arrested, and sent to jail whereas the arrestees were supposed to file cases against the attackers for their involvement in the attacks, lawyer of the accused said.
Chhatra League Organising Secretary Nazim Uddin and activist Aminur Rahman filed the cases with Shahbagh Police Station accusing 25 and 140-150 unnamed people.
Police on October 7 detained 24 parishad men at Dhaka Medical College Hospital and from nearby areas in connection with the incident.
Among the detainees were several people who went to the hospital for treatment of their injuries.
