A Dhaka court on Wednesday placed bomb expert Mukit alias Boma Maulana, allegedly mastermind of cocktail attacks on the premises of the Dhaka Metropolitan Sessions Judge Court on a four-day remand in a case filed under Special Powers Act of Lalbagh Police Station.
Metropolitan Magistrate Zake Al Farabi passed the order after police produced him before the court and pleaded to place on four-day remand for interrogation.
