Six among 29 expatriates, who were deported from Iran on Sunday, were placed on a two-day police remand yesterday in connection with the killing of a fellow Bangladeshi on December 14 in Iran.
Md Yasin from Feni, Lalon from Madaripur, Jurith Ullah from Sunamganj, Manik from Chandpur, Selim Ullah and Nur Mohammad from Cox’s Bazar were remanded for the murder of Jewel Molla of Shariatpur.
Sub-Inspector Shafiqul Islam of Airport police station told the Dhaka Tribune that the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate’s Court had granted the police two days.
He said the detainees and the victim had gone to Iran through Jordan together in course of their attempt to enter a European country. But they were arrested in Tehran for their illegal entry to Iran.
“Jewel was killed while all of them were in police custody,” said the SI. “So far I know, the killing took place following a feud among them over monetary dealing as they were cheated by Bangladeshi brokers, who sent them abroad.”
