A Dhaka court on Thursday placed Amatullah Bushra, who was arrested on Thursday morning in a case over the death of Buet student Fardin Noor Parash, on a five- day remand.

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Mehedi Hasan passed the order when Golam Mawla, investigation officer of the case and Inspector of Rampura Police Station,  produced her before the court seeking a seven-day remand for her.
