A court on Sunday sent singer Krishnakali’s husband M Khaliqur Rahman Orko to jail in connection with the ‘suicide’ of their domestic help at their Taltola residence in Dhaka, reports news agency UNB.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Pronob Kumar Gui passed the order when sub-inspector of Sher-e-Banglanagar police station Shushil Chandra Barman produced him before the court on expiry of his two-day remand period.
Earlier, the SI also filed a petition to the court for keeping the accused in jail as they did not get the post-mortem report.
The court also rejected the bail plea filed by Orko’s lawyer Jyotirmoy Barua.
On Thursday, a Dhaka court placed M Khaliqur Rahman Orko on a two-day remand in connection with the incident.
