4 Accused Including Iqbal Remanded Again in Cumilla Incident

A court has remanded four people, including Iqbal Hossain, the main accused in the case of placing the Holy Quran in a puja mandapa in Cumilla, for three days.

Judge Chandan Kanti Nath of Cumilla Senior Judicial Magistrate's Court No. 1 passed the order at 4 pm on Wednesday (November 3).

The accused in the remand are Iqbal, the main accused, Faisal, Humayun, two servants of the city's Darogabari shrine, and Ikram, who called the emergency services number 999.

Lawyer APP Rafiqul Islam Hira confirmed the matter.

He said the investigating officer in the case, Iqbal and four others, wanted a five-day remand. The court granted a 3-day remand. The CID asked the court for permission to interrogate him in remand after 20 working days for review. However, the judge rejected the application. The court ordered to send the accused to jail if the remand failed to take effect from today.

CID Cumilla Region Superintendent of Police Khan Mohammad Rezwan said the court had granted four-day remand to four people, including Iqbal. However, it will take some time to sort out the information given by the accused in the remand of the last few days. We reviewed the interrogation in remand after 20 days before the court. For now, they will be sent to jail.
