A Dhaka court on Monday placed former law minister Anisul Huq on a 2-day fresh remand in a case filed over the killing of Swechasebak Dal leader Al Amin in the capital’s Badda area on August 5.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Mohammad Nurul Huda passed the order after hearing a petition.
According to the court sources, the former minister was first produced before the court with an appeal to show him arrested in the case.
