Narayanganj city ward councillor Jannatul Ferdous Nila was sent to jail today on completion of her three-day remand in a case filed for the murder of one Jewel in 2013.    

Senior Judicial Magistrate Ishtiak Ahmed of Narayanganj passed the order when Nila was placed before his court around noon.  

Locals believe Nila was having an affair with Nur Hossain – the prime suspect of the gruesome seven-murder in Narayanganj.

After Nila was arrested in Mijmiji area in the district on May 26, the Court of Chief Judicial Magistrate Zabid Hossain granted the remand for her in the murder case.

Nila, the ward councillor of ward -4, -5 and -6, was arrested following the confessional statements of Sohag and Mona, two accused in the 2013 Jewel murder case.

The two men claimed that Nila was involved in Jewel's murder in Siddhirganj area on October 26.

Jewel's decapitated body was recovered from Jalkuri area in Shiddhirganj.

The ward councillor's family members however denied her involvement in the murder saying that  Nila had ousted Sohag and Mona from her wards following Jewel's murder, and that they might be trying to implicate her in the murder to take revenge.
