DHAKA, Sept 28, 2025(BSS) - A court here today granted five-day police remand for former state minister for industries Kamal Ahmed Majumder's son Md Shahed Ahmmed Majumder.

Earlier on Saturday night, a team of police of the Counter Terrorism Unit, arrested Shahed from a house at Niketon area under Gulshan Than for his alleged involvement in financing the activities of suspended Awami League (AL). Police filed a case against him under the Anti-Terrorism Act.

Shahed was produced before the court of Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (CMM) by police with a petition for 10-day remand. Meanwhile, the lawyers of Shahed moved a bail petition before the court and opposed the remand prayer. After hearing both the sides, Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (ACMM) Ziadur Rahman granted his five-day remand, rejecting the bail petition.

According to the case, a group of activists of Awami League and its front organization recently banned Bangladesh Chhatra league on September 12 gathered on a bridge near Dr Fazle Rabbi Park under Gulshan Thana and brought out a procession. They chanted different sorts of slogans against the government and tried to damage vehicles plying on the streets to create panic among the city dwellers.

On September 13, Sub-Inspector Md Mahbub Hussainb of Gulshan Thana filed a case under Anti Terrorism Act in this connection.
