Police yesterday released Narayanganj city ward Councillor Jannatul Ferdous Nila four hours after detaining her from Narayanganj Court premises in connection with the seven murders.
Nila is said to be a girlfriend of Nur Hossain, the prime suspect of the abduction and killing of the city’s panel mayor Nazrul Islam and six others.
After release, Nila told reporters that the Detective Branch of police had interrogated her.
Police detained Nila around 5:30pm from Hajiganj on her way from Narayanganj Circuit House where she attended a mass hearing on the seven killings.
Manjur Quader, officer-in-charge of Narayanganj Model police station, told the Dhaka Tribune that she had been handed over to the DB after detention.
Nila had gone to the Narayanganj Circuit House to testify in the seven-murder case. She, however, refused to talk to reporters about her deposition.
