A Dhaka court on Wednesday (November 11) remanded Mohammad Rezwan Ahmed(24), for three days for interrogation in a case filed under the Anti-Terrorism Act over a cocktail explosion at Jagannath University.

Metropolitan Magistrate Ariful Islam passed the order after a hearing. Earlier, investigating officer and Kotwali Police Station Sub-Inspector Mohammad Nazmul Alam Tutul sought a five-day remand.

According to the remand petition, Rezwan is the finance secretary of the banned Chhatra League's Jagannath University unit. The investigating officer said he could flee if granted bail and that his interrogation was necessary for a proper investigation.

Defence lawyers Golam Rabbani and Shariful Islam opposed the remand, while the prosecution supported it. After hearing both sides, the court granted three days remand.

The case statement says a cocktail exploded near Gate No. 2 of the university at around 7:45pm on November 9. Members of the university unit of Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal allegedly detained Rezwan at the scene with an unexploded cocktail.

The remand petition claimed that Rezwan admitted during preliminary questioning that he and other accused, along with 25 to 30 unidentified people, were involved in the explosions to destabilise the country. He was reportedly beaten by an agitated crowd and later received treatment at Sir Salimullah Medical College.

Kotwali Police Sub-Inspector Mohammad Imran Hossain filed the case against Rezwan and other named and unidentified accused.
