A Dhaka court has granted police a day to interrogate East West University student Amjad Hossain Bukhari in custody over pasting posters of the banned organisation Hizb ut-Tahrir.
Dhaka Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Md Sefatullah passed the order on Tuesday.
Police arrested Bukhari while he was posting posters of the organisation in Dhaka’s Motijheel on Sept 23.
Sub-Inspector Rokonuzzaman of prosecution said they had sought a three-day remand on Dec 4. Sub-Inspector Saiful Islam had applied for the remand.
Bukhari appeared in court during the hearing of the remand petition.
His lawyer Ila Naznin argued against the petition, saying her client was not present when the posters were pasted. She requested the court to allow the questioning to be conducted at the jail gate.
In the petition, police said Bukhari was arrested while pasting Hizb ut-Tahrir posters in front of City Center in Motijheel. He was later shown arrested in a case filed under the Anti-Terrorism Act.
The case against Bukhari was filed on Mar 8, following a clash between police and Hizb ut-Tahrir activists on Mar 7.
According to the case, between 2,000 and 2,200 Hizb ut-Tahrir members approached the Paltan intersection from the north gate of Baitul Mukarram National Mosque. The crowd began throwing bricks at police when the officers attempted to intervene.
