Lalmonirhat Mob Attack: Muajjin Afiz on Remand

A court in Lalmonirhat granted a five-day remand for Mosque Muajjin Afizuddin in a case filed for beating a man named Shaidunnabi Jewel to death and setting his body on fire at Burimari in the district on charges of harming religious sentiments.

After police presented Afiz with a five-day remand prayer at Sunday noon, senior judicial magistrate Ferdousi Begum granted the remand prayer. 

Earlier on Saturday, the investigating officer (IO) of the case and police inspector of the police detective branch (DB) produced Muajjin Afiz before the court and requested five days' remand. The court, however, requested a hearing on Sunday (today). 

Muajjin Afiz is the son of Faimuddin of Lalmonirhat's Islampur upazila of Patgram upazila and serves as the central mosque muezzin of Burimary.
