A Dhaka court on Thursday placed 23 leaders and activists of the opposition BNP on a two-day remand in two separate cases filed over Wednesday's clash at Naya Paltan.
At the same time, the court ordered to send 444 people to jail, including Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi.
Dhaka Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Tofazzal Hossain passed the order after a hearing, reports Bangla Tribune.
However, the investigating officer in a case filed over sabotage requested a seven-day remand for the accused. Mizanur Rahman, a sub-inspector of the capital's Paltan police station, filed the case as the plaintiff.
BNP leader Rahman Babul, Joint Organizational Secretary Selimuzzaman Selim, Executive Committee Member Khandakar Abu Ashfaq, and 11 others were remanded in the case, while BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia's special assistant Shamsur Rahman Shimul Biswas, haka Metropolitan North BNP Convener Aman Ullah Aman and others were sent to jail.
BNP men clashed with the police in front of the party's Naya Paltan office in Dhaka on Wednesday afternoon as tension mounts over the venue for the party's mass rally in the capital on December 10.
Witnesses said that some senior leaders including BNP Standing Committee members Mirza Abbas and Gayeshwar Chandra Roy were holding a press conference at the office on Wednesday afternoon while the activists were staying outside the office.
At least one person was killed in the clash.
