Chottagong: A Chattogram court on Tuesday sent eight accused arrested in connection with the clashes and vandalism during over ex-ISKCON leader Chinmoy Krishna’s bail denial on a five-day police re-mand.
The court passed the order when police produced the accused before the court of Chattogram Metropoli-tan Magistrate (CMM) Alamgir Hossain amid tight security and sought their remand.
They were sent on a six-day remand on December 4 following their arrest.
On November 26, the supporters of Chinmoy Krishna Das engaged in violent clashes with police and others on the court premises when the court rejected his bail plea in a sedition case.
During the clashes, lawyer Saiful Islam Alif was hacked to death.
So far, six cases including a murder case, police assault, vandalism, and obstruction of government du-ties, have been filed in connection with the incident.
Three of these cases were filed by police.
