A Dhaka court has granted a five-day remand for Towhid Afridi in connection with the killing of Asadul Haque Babu during the recent mass uprising. Afridi was produced at the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate’s Court at 2:25 PM and placed in custody. Investigating officer Khan Md. Erfan had sought a seven-day remand, while defense lawyers petitioned for bail and dismissal of the remand request. After hearing both sides, the court approved a five-day remand. On August 5, Babu joined demonstrations on Jatrabari’s main road, where he was shot in the chest and side. He later succumbed to his injuries at a hospital. The case lists Nasir Uddin as accused no. 22 and Towhid Afridi as accused no. 11.
