The magistrate also rejected a bail petition of Foysal after his lawyer moved it on grounds that he was not involved with the killing.

No lawyers stood on behalf of the four other accused in the court to defend them.

In the today's forwarding report, the IO said all the five accused gave important information about the killing which was being verified. So, the IO appealed to the court to confine in jail until the investigation is completed.

Upon the hearing, the magistrate ordered to send them to Dhaka Central Jail in Keraniganj.
