A Dhaka court has ordered a fresh three-day remand for former army officer and ex-MP Masud Uddin Chowdhury in a murder case. The order was issued on Monday afternoon by Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Md Monirul Islam after Chowdhury was discharged from Dhaka Medical College Hospital, where he had been receiving treatment.

According to the case file, Detective Branch SI Kofil Uddin presented Chowdhury before the court in connection with the killing of Delwar Hossain during a student protest in Mirpur on 19 July 2024. The prosecution sought a seven-day remand, arguing that further interrogation was needed to obtain complete information. The defense opposed the request, citing Chowdhury’s health issues and previous eight days of remand without clear investigative results.

The court granted three days of remand after hearing both sides. Earlier, on 11 April, Chowdhury had been placed on a four-day remand but was hospitalized the next day due to illness. He was arrested on 23 March from Baridhara in Dhaka in connection with the same case.
