A Shariatpur court on Monday granted a seven-day remand against the Tik Tok user who removed nuts from the Padma Bridge and uploaded a video on the internet.

This came after the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) sought a 10-day remand producing Bayezid Talha before the court on Monday.

Bayezid Talha has been booked under section 15 (3)/25 of the Special Powers Act 1974 at Padma Bridge North Police Station, confirmed Rezaul Masud, special police super of CID's Cyber Intelligence and Risk Management Department.

The official told the media that unscrewing nuts and bolts of the Padma Bridge is not possible without using tools.

Bayezid hurt "people's emotions" by uploading the video on social media the official said. 

“We have spoken to the bridge authority. They said it isn't possible to remove them by hand. So it's obvious that an instrument was used," he said. 

Earlier on Sunday, police detained Bayezid from Shantinagar in Dhaka. Later, a case was filed against him with Padma Bridge North Police Station under the Special Powers Act.
