Former member of parliament from Dhaka-7 Mohammad Solaiman Salim and Former Member of Parliament for Bhola-2 constituency Ali Azam Mukul has been sent to jail in connection with murder during the anti-discrimination student movement.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Awlad Hossain Muhammad Junaid issued the order on Thursday against Mohammad Solaiman Salim scheduling the remand hearing for November 27.
Chawkbazar model police station Sub-Inspector (SI) Md Abul Khair presented Salim in court and applied for a 10-day remand.
The defence requested bail and cancellation of the remand.
However, due to the unavailability of the case documents, the court ordered him to be sent to jail and set the remand hearing date.
Selim was arrested by Chawkbazar police late on Wednesday night at a residence in Gulshan, Dhaka.
The case alleges that on the morning of August 5, leaders and activists of various affiliates of the Awami League armed with firearms and locally made weapons indiscriminately opened fire and exploded cocktails on protesting students and people at the Chankharpul intersection in Dhaka.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Md Sefatullah gave the order against Mukul rejecting Mukul’s bail plea on Thursday. The police had earlier sought to keep him in custody.
