A Chattogram court on Tuesday remanded eight people arrested in connection with the clashes and vandalism following the denial of bail to former ISKCON leader Chinmoy Krishna, granting them a five-day police remand.
The court issued the order after the police presented the accused before Chattogram Metropolitan Magistrate (CMM) Alamgir Hossain under tight security. The police requested a five-day remand for the accused to assist in the ongoing investigation into the clashes and vandalism.
On December 4 , they were sent on a six-day remand following their arrest.
On November 26, the supporters of Chinmoy Krishna Das engaged in violent clashes with police and others on the court premises when the court rejected his bail plea in a sedition case.
During the clashes, lawyer Saiful Islam Alif was hacked to death.
So far, six cases including a murder case, police assault, vandalism, and obstruction of government duties, have been filed in connection with the incident. Three of these cases were filed by police.
