Ex-DGFI Director Afzal put on 3-day remand 

 
A Dhaka court has granted a three-day remand for former DGFI director Afzal Naser in a case over the killing of BNP activist Makbul Hossain.

On Sunday, police produced Naser before the court, seeking a five-day remand in the Paltan Model Police Station case. The court of Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Md. Sefatullah first showed him arrested in that case and then allowed a three-day remand after hearing both sides.

Prosecutor Omar Faruk Faruqi argued in favour of the remand, while defence lawyers sought bail and cancellation of the remand plea.

Naser was arrested late last Sunday night from a residence in Mirpur DOHS. Earlier, he had been placed on a six-day remand in a separate murder case linked to the death of Delwar Hossain during anti-discrimination protests.

According to the case statement, BNP had announced a programme on December 10, 2022.
