Former food minister Qamrul Islam has been placed on an eight-day remand in a case filed over the killing of businessman Abdul Wadud in the Nilkhet area of Dhaka in July.

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Ziadur Rahman’s court issued the order on Tuesday.
Earlier, the investigation officer sought a 10-day remand for investigation.

The defence lawyer appealed for bail, while the prosecution opposed the bail request. After the hearing, the court granted the eight-day remand.

The Detective Branch (DB) of the Dhaka Metropolitan Police arrested Qamrul on Monday night in Uttara Sector 12.

According to the case details, during the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement, on July 19, businessman Abdul Wadud died in the Nilkhet area under New Market police station from police gunfire.

Following the incident, Abdul Wadud’s brother-in-law, Abdur Rahman, filed a murder case against 130 individuals, including former prime minister Sheikh Hasina and former minister Obaidul Quader.
