Today Sunday (November 27) Idi Amin surrendered through his lawyer and appealed for bail. In view of the appeal, the court of Dhaka Additional Metropolitan Magistrate Tofazzal Hossain ordered to send him to jail.

After that, in the case of Kotwali Police Station, Inspector Muhammad Abul Kalam Azad, Inspector of Counter Terrorism and Transnational Crime Unit (CTTC), appealed for a 10-day remand for proper investigation. Additional Metropolitan Magistrate of Dhaka Tofazzal Hossain gave this remand order after the hearing.

On November 20, around 12 noon, two militants were brought to court in a case. After the attendance, the policemen were taking them toward Hajat Khana (Jail). At that time, their associates snatched the militant members Moinul Hasan Shamim and Abu Siddique Sohail by spraying them in the eyes and faces of the police.
