A Dhaka court has granted a two-day remand for Md. Yusuf, who was arrested in a case filed over alleged extortion, intimidation, and obstruction of construction work at a house in the Gulshan area of the capital. The order was issued on Sunday, April 19, 2026, by Metropolitan Magistrate Sefatullah. The state prosecutor, Shamsuddoha Suman, confirmed the court’s decision.

According to the case details, Yusuf and 20 to 25 unidentified individuals allegedly entered a house in Gulshan-1 where boundary construction was underway. They reportedly forced the workers to stop work and demanded Tk 2 million from the homeowner. The prosecution argued that interrogation during remand could reveal information about other members of the extortion group.

The court approved a two-day remand instead of the ten days requested by the prosecution.
