UNB, Sirajganj :

A court here on Monday sent Shahjadpur municipality mayor Halimul Haque Miru to jail in a case filed over the killing of a journalist.

Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate Morshed Alam passed the order when Manirul Islam, inspector of Shahjadpur Police Station and also the investigation officer of the case, produced him before the court seeking a seven-day remand.
