A Dhaka court on Thursday placed former law minister Anisul Huq on a four-day remand in a case lodged over the killing of a vegetable vendor, Md Shahabul Islam Shaon, in the Ashulia area during the July Uprising.
Dhaka Senior Judicial Magistrate Md Tajul Islam Sohag passed the order after the police produced the accused before the court and pleaded for a seven-day remand.
According to the case documents, Shahabul, who used to sell vegetables on a rickshaw-van, joined an Anti-Discrimination Student Movement rally on August 4, 2024. He got shot beside the RMST Building in the Baipail intersection area in Ashulia and died on the spot.
Shahabul's brother, Touhidul Miah, later filed the case with the Ashulia police station.
