Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Muhammad Asaduzzaman Noor passed the order.

Another Dhaka court on Monday placed Irfan's car driver Mizanur Rahman on a one-day remand in the same case.
Irfan Salim was sentenced to one year imprisonment by a mobile court on Monday for illegally possessing walkie-talkies and foreign liquor.
The IO in his remand forwarding report said  Irfan along with his associates assaulted a navy official without any reason and they need to be remanded to find out vital clues to the incident and know whereabouts of others suspects .
On the other hand, the defence submitted a petition seeking bail and cancellation of the remand prayer, saying that there were no specific allegations against the accused.
After hearing both sides, the court rejected their bail prayers and placed them on remand for three days.
