A Dhaka court has granted a 7-day remand for former Chief Justice A.B.M. Khairul Haque in a verdict forgery case filed at Shahbagh Police Station. Police had initially requested a 10-day remand. Notably, Haque appeared in court without legal representation. He was arrested from his Dhanmondi residence on July 24 and later shown arrested in connection with a separate murder case filed at Jatrabari Police Station. This marks the first time a former Chief Justice has been arrested and jailed in connection with a murder case.
