Former prime minister Sheikh Hasina's adviser Salman F Rahman and former law minister Anisul Huq have been put in jail custody pending trial over the murder of Parvez Mia during the Anti-discrimination Student Movement in Dhaka's Jatrabari.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Kawser Pervin passed the order on Friday.
Sub-Inspector (SI) Md Sharifuzzaman, the general recording officer of the court's Jatrabari Police Station, confirmed the decision.
After the end of their remand, the investigating officer SI Nazmul Hasan sought to keep them behind bars.
The court had earlier granted a four-day remand for the two on Feb 10.
According to the case documents, Parvez joined an anti-discrimination protest in Jatrabari on Aug 5, the day the Awami League government was ousted.
He was shot in the afternoon and taken to Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH), where he died shortly after.
His mother Kaniz Fatema filed the case with Jatrabari Police Station on Oct 29, 2024.
Salman, vice chairman of Beximco Group, one of Bangladesh's leading industrial conglomerates, became the private sector development affairs advisor to Hasina in 2009. �"bdnews24.com
