A Dhaka court granted five days’ remand for Abdus Sobhan Kazi, vice-president of Uttara Thana Jubo League and convener of Faridpur District Matsyajibi League, in the Amin murder case linked to the July uprising. Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Kamal Uddin issued the order after a hearing on Wednesday afternoon, 5 August. The case was filed at Uttara West Police Station.

The investigating officer, Detective Branch Wari Division Inspector Mritunjoy Pandit Mithun, had sought seven days’ remand after producing Kazi before the court. The remand application said Kazi had provided information during questioning about the case incident and other fugitives. Investigators said further questioning was needed to verify his full identity and address and to identify and arrest other fugitive and unidentified accused.

According to the case record, an attack and shooting occurred during a peaceful student-public programme in the Uttara West area on 19 July 2024, amid the anti-discrimination student movement. Al Amin Khalifa was killed and others were injured. Police arrested Kazi on the night of 4 August from a flat in Swarnalata Bhaban near the Banani police station officers’ mess, seizing a Toyota Harrier, two iPhones and five Bangladeshi passports issued in his name.
