A court on Friday placed five accused arrested in the case lodged over the killing of Tanjil Jahan Islam Tamim, broadcast officer of Deepto TV, on four-day remand each.
The five remanded accused are- Md Abdul Latif, Md Kurban Ali, Mahin, Mozammel Haque Kabir and Badhon.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Md Mahbub Ahmed passed the order as police produced the five accused before the court and pleaded to place them on seven-day remand in the case filed with the capital’s Hatirjheel Police Station, reports BSS.
According to the case documents, Tamim was killed over a dispute between landowners and a developer company. There was a longstanding dispute between three landowners and the developer company Pleasant Properties about the handover of flats.
As per the contact, each landowner was supposed to get five flats. But the developer company handed over to Tamim’s father, who was one of the landowners, two flats in 2023, and was delaying to handover the remaining units in spite of having completed the construction.
The company recently sold one of the three flats supposed to be given to Tamim’s father. On October 10, when Tamim, using some workers, was carrying out some internal work in the other two flats, goons hired by the developer company attacked them and beat Tamim mercilessly.
As Tamim was rushed to the local hospital, he was declared dead by the attending doctors. Tamim’s father later filed the case against 16 people with the Hatirjheel Police Station.
