A Dhaka court has approved a seven-day remand for four individuals — including student activist Abdur Razzak Riad — in connection with an extortion case at the residence of a former Member of Parliament in Gulshan. Riad currently serves as the acting convener of the Combined Private University chapter of the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement. The other accused are Sakadaun Siam, Sadman Sadab, and Md. Ibrahim Hossain. Police presented the suspects in court and sought a 10-day remand, citing serious allegations. The case accuses the group of demanding Tk 50 lakh (approximately $45,000) and gold ornaments from the former MP’s household and collecting Tk 10 lakh in cash before being apprehended. The investigation is ongoing as authorities question the suspects over the extortion claims.
