A Dhaka court has placed four associates of Jatiotabadi Jubo Dal leader Moin Uddin on a four-day remand in a case involving an extortion attempt at the CKD Urology Hospital, founded by renowned kidney specialist Prof Kamrul Islam.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Ariful Islam passed the order after the investigating officer sought seven days to interrogate the suspects in custody.
The remanded suspects are Faruk Hossain Suman, Liton Mia, Falan Mia, and Md Rubel, confirmed Prosecution Police Sub-Inspector Rafiqul Islam.
Dhaka Metropolitan Public Prosecutor Omar Faruq Faruqi argued in favour of the remand, while defence counsel Kazi Akramul Huda Suman moved for bail.
The court rejected the bail plea following the hearing.
The development follows a series of raids by the Rapid Action Battalion (RAB).
RAB’s Legal and Media Wing Director Wing Commander MZM Intekhab Chowdhury confirmed that the prime suspect Moin was apprehended in Dadontala village in Narail’s Kalia.
Seven people, including Moin, have been arrested so far in connection with the case filed at Sher-e-Bangla Nagar Police Station by Abu Hanif, the official in charge of the hospital’s operation theatre.
The police case alleges that Moin had been harassing the complainant for some time, demanding Tk 500,000 in extortion.
On Apr 10, Moin and several associates reportedly stormed the complainant’s residence in Shyamoli, threatening his wife with dire consequences if the money was not paid immediately.
Later that day, a mob of 50 to 60 people gathered in front of the hospital in Shyamoli, creating chaos and shouting slogans.
The complainant alleged the disorder was a calculated move to disrupt the hospital's emergency services and divert attention from the extortion demand.
