A Dhaka court on Friday placed dismissed DGFI director Afzal Naser on a three-day remand in an attempted murder case filed with Kotwali Police Station in the capital, linked to the anti-discrimination student movement.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Md Ripon Hossain passed the order following a seven-day remand petition filed by investigation officer KM Abdul Huq, State Prosecutor Samsuddoha Sumon said.
Earlier on 5 May, Afzal Naser was placed on three-day remand in the same case.
