Dhaka-7 constituency and Awami League (AL) leader Dr Mostofa Jalal Mohiuddin
on a five-day remand in a case lodged over the murder of trader Abdul Wadud
in the capital's New market area during the anti-discrimination student
movement.

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Jashita Islam passed the order as police
produced the accused before the court and pleaded to place him on a 10-day
remand in the case.
