A Dhaka court has ordered a three-day remand for former Directorate General of Forces Intelligence (DGFI) director and dismissed officer Md Afzal Naser in connection with the murder of Delwar Hossain during the July uprising in Mirpur. The order, marking his sixth round of remand, was issued on Monday, April 20, 2026, by Metropolitan Magistrate Jamshed Alam. The prosecution confirmed the decision after the Detective Branch (DB) police presented Naser in court and sought a seven-day remand.

According to the case details, on July 19, 2024, a peaceful protest by students and citizens at Mirpur 10 was attacked by 500–700 Awami League activists armed with local weapons. Under the direction of Sheikh Mamun Khaled, indiscriminate gunfire was opened on the demonstrators, injuring Delwar Hossain, who later died on July 21, 2024, at a private hospital in Shyamoli. The case was filed at Mirpur Police Station in July 2025.

Law enforcement arrested Afzal Naser on March 30, 2026, from a residence in Mirpur DOHS. The court proceedings continue as part of the ongoing investigation into the killing.
