10-day remand sought for Salman, Anisul in murder case

Police sought 10-day remands for Salman F Rahman, former PM’s advisor, and Anisul Huq, ex-law minister, in a murder case. Arrested in Dhaka’s Sadarghat while allegedly attempting to flee, they’re accused of instigating a shop employee’s killing on July 16. The arrests are linked to recent violent student protests that led to over 500 deaths and the government’s fall. Both were influential figures in the previous administration. A magistrate is set to hear the remand plea. Daily Star
