Two remanded over death threat to meat trader Khalil
A Dhaka court on Monday placed two men to two-day remand each in a case filed in connection with threatening to kill meat trader Khalilur Rahman in Shahjahanpur area of the capital.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Zaki Al Farabi passed the order as police produced the duo before the court with a 7-day remand prayer to interrogate them.
The two accused are- Md Nurul Haque, 67, and Mohammad Emon, 22.
Sohag Fakir, the lawyer for the accused, applied for bail seeking cancellation of the remand.
However, the court denied the bail petition.
According to the case documents, on January 18 the accused demanded Tk 25 lakh from Khalil, who drew people's attention for selling beef at an affordable price at his shop in Shahjahanpur area, and threatened to kill him and his son over the phone.
On January 20, Khalil filed a GD with Shahjahanpur police station in this regard.
The Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) arrested them from Ashulia, Savar on Saturday night. Later, they confessed their crimes in primary interrogation, RAB said.
