A Dhaka court has granted a three-day remand for former Directorate General of Forces Intelligence (DGFI) officer and dismissed Major Manzil Haider Chowdhury in a case filed under the Anti-Terrorism Act at Ramna Police Station. The order was issued on Thursday by Metropolitan Magistrate Md. Jamshed Alam after a hearing. The prosecution was represented by state lawyer Shamsuddoha Suman, while the investigating officer, Sub-Inspector Md. Amjad Hossain Talukder, sought a four-day remand for interrogation.
According to the case documents, investigators alleged that Manzil Haider had used his influence as a close associate of former military adviser Tarique Siddiqi to suppress a student movement and later financed and advised banned organizations, including the Awami League and its affiliates, after a change of government. The investigation also claimed his involvement in secret meetings and conspiratorial activities in Dhaka.
The defense lawyers sought bail and cancellation of the remand petition, which the prosecution opposed. After hearing both sides, the court approved the three-day remand. The case originated from a September 12 incident in Ramna, where members of a banned group held an anti-government rally, leading to arrests and the filing of the case.
