Metropolitan Magistrate GM Farhan Istiak granted the remand prayer after CID police inspector Ridwanul Haque, also the investigation officer of the case, pleaded for a 5-day remand for them.

Public prosecutor Omar Faruk Faruki was present of behalf of the state, while the defence lawyers prayed for cancellation of remand and sought bail. After the hearing, the court rejected the bail petition and granted the remand for questioning.
