Dhaka:A court has placed banned Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) leader Md Rezwan Ahammed, aged 24, on a three-day remand in relation to a case filed under the Anti-Terrorism Act concerning a crude bomb explosion in front of Jagannath University in Dhaka.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Ariful Islam issued the remand order after Rezwan, who served as the treasurer of BCL's Jagannath University unit, was presented in court by police. The authorities had initially requested a five-day remand.
