Ex-railway minister Sujon remanded for 3-day

A court in Dhaka on Tuesday placed former railway minister Advocate Md Nurul Islam Sujon on a three-day police remand in the Imran Hossain murder case filed with the Jatrabari Police Station.

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Shahin Reza passed the order after accepting a plea from the Investigation Officer (IO) of the case.

On August 5, Imran was shot dead during a protest rally in the city's Jatrabari area.

His mother Kohinur Akhter later filed a case with Jatrabari Police Station against 298 persons including the ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on September 1.

Sujon was arrested from Bangladesh Specialized Hospital in the city's Shyamoli area last night around 10pm.
