The absconding Narayanganj councillor, prime accused in the multiple murders case, has been booked under Arms Act and Foreigners Act for illegal trespass into Indian territory without valid travel document and for illegal possession of a weapon.
He was produced in the district court in Barasat by West Bengal police at 1:45pm local time.
Magistrate Lepcha observed there was a prima facie case against Nur Hossain on the charges registered by police.
So the remand request of the police to facilitate interrogation was allowed.
Hossain is believed to be the mastermind of the Narayanganj multiple murders, for which some RAB officers are now in the dock.
Assassinated councillor Nazrul's relatives allege that the RAB officers carried out the murders at the behest of Nur Hossain and then helped him escape to India.
But the RAB has denied the charge.
