Workers Party President and former minister Rashed Khan Menon, arrested over the murder of Abdul Wadud during the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement in the capital's New Market area, has been remanded for five days by the court.
On Friday, following a hearing, Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Md Ali Haider issued the remand order.
Earlier, the investigating officer from New Market police station presented the accused in court, requesting a ten-day remand.
The defence lawyer sought bail and appealed for the remand to be cancelled, but the prosecution opposed the request.
After hearing both sides, the court granted a five-day remand for Menon.
