Dhaka metropolitan magistrate Abu Sayeed put Tanvir and Amit Saha on three-day remand as investigation officer (IO) and detective branch (DB) inspector Wahiduzzaman produced the accused before court and pleaded to place them on seven-day remand each.

The court also sent another accused Hossain Mohammad Toha to jail as the IO also produced him before the court after end of his five-day remand.
