Mahmudul Hasan Mohin, the key accused in the case filed over the murder of scrap trader Lal Chand alias Md Sohag outside Mitford Hospital, has given a confessional statement in the case before a Dhaka court.
Police on Sunday produced him in court after a five-day remand.
Following Mohin's willingness to provide a confessional statement, the investigating officer, Officer-in-Charge of Kotwali police station Md Moniruzzaman, submitted a petition to record the statement.
Metropolitan Magistrate Md Mahbubur Rahman's court recorded the confession and ordered that the accused be sent to jail.
Earlier, on July 10, a court granted a five-day remand for the first phase of interrogation.
Another five-day remand was granted on July 15 for the second phase.
According to the case details, around 6pm on July 9, a group of people brutally killed Sohag by indiscriminately attacking him with stones and sharp weapons on the paved road of Rajoni Ghosh Lane near Gate 3 of Mitford Hospital.
The following day, the victim's elder sister Manjuara Begum filed a murder case at Kotwali police station, accusing 19 individuals by name and another 15 to 20 unidentified persons.
In connection with the same incident, police also filed a separate case under the Arms Act.
Sohag had been running a scrap business for a long time on Rajoni Ghosh Lane No 4 of the Mitford area.
