A Dhaka court has granted a fresh four-day remand for former army officer and ex-MP Masud Uddin Chowdhury for interrogation in the murder case of Delwar Hossain. The order was issued on Thursday, April 30, 2026, by Metropolitan Magistrate Md. Manjurul Islam. The case is linked to the killing that occurred during an anti-discrimination movement in Mirpur, Dhaka. State lawyer Shamsuddoha Suman confirmed the court’s decision following a hearing.

Before the order, Chowdhury was produced before the court, and the investigation officer, DB Mirpur Sub-Inspector Kofil Uddin, sought a four-day remand. The prosecution supported the remand request, while defense lawyer Towhidul Islam Sajib argued for its cancellation. After hearing both sides, the court approved the remand.

According to the case details, Delwar Hossain was shot and later died in July 2024 during a protest in Mirpur. The case was filed in July 2025, and Chowdhury was arrested from his Baridhara DOHS residence on March 23, 2026. He had previously been remanded in other related cases.
