DHAKA, Feb 12, 2025 (BSS) - A court here today placed Nassa Group chairman 
Nazrul Islam Majumder on a total 10-day remand in two separate murder cases.
 
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate MA Azharul Islam passed the orders as police 
produced Nazrul, also the former chairman of EXIM Bank, before the court and 
pleaded to place him on a 20-day remand in two separate murder cases filed 
with the city's Dhanmandi and Jatrabari Police Stations. Dhaka Metropolitan 
Sessions Judge Court public prosecutor Omar Faruk Faruki argued for his 
remand, while the defence pleaded for cancelling the remand plea.
 
After hearing both sides, the court placed Nazrul Islam Majumder on a five-
day remand in each case and sent him back to jail.

of Awami League and its front organizations opened fire on them, injuring 
many including Shamim. He was rushed to hospital, where he succumbed to his 
injuries the next day.
