Ex-MP Shah-E-Alam's Remand Granted

After being beaten and given to the police station, the court granted the remand of former MP Shah-E-Alam Talukder. He was a Member of Parliament of Barishal-2 (Banaripara-Ujirpur) Constituency and President of the Central Committee of Chhatra League.

On Sunday (September 15) afternoon, the judge of Dhaka's Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (CMM) court granted his 3-day remand. The judge gave this verdict based on a case lodged over the murder of college student Md Naimur Rahman in the capital's Gulshan area during the recent anti-discrimination student movement.

On Saturday night Shah-e-Alam was beaten and handed over to Dhaka's Gulshan police station. Gulshan Division Deputy Police Commissioner Riazul Haque confirmed the matter and told the media that Shah-E-Alam has been kept in custody. It is being investigated whether there is a case against him.

Earlier, Syed Atikur Rahman, the son of a brave freedom fighter, filed a case against Shah-E-Alam Talukder in the court for assault and attempted murder for extortion. Shah-E-Alam along with his three brothers and 14 activists have been accused in the case.

On September 11, Barisal Senior Judicial Magistrate Sharmin Sultana Sumi ordered the CID to investigate the complaint and submit the investigation report.
