DHAKA, Jan 27, 2025 (BSS) - A court here today placed Salman F Rahman, former
private industry affairs adviser to ousted prime minister Sheikh Hasina, on a
three-day remand in a case lodged over the killing of one Al-Amin during the
student-led July-August mass-uprising.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Md Saifuzzaman passed the order as police
produced Salman, believed to be one of the orchestrators of the biggest
financial crimes committed in the country in the recent past, before the
court and pleaded to place him on a seven-day remand.
Salman F Rahman was arrested from the capital's Sadarghat area as he was
trying to flee the capital along with former law minister Anisul Huq through
the waterways on August 13, 2024. He was placed on a 10-day remand in shopper
Shahjahan Ali murder case the next day.
According to the case documents, police and Awami League cadres attacked
agitating people during the anti-discrimination student movement in the
capital's Jatrabari area on July 21. They fired at the protesters
indiscriminately. Al-Amin got shot in the attack and died on the spot.
His father filed the case with the Jatrabari Police Station against 99 named
accused and 100-150 unnamed others.
