DHAKA, Feb 18, 2025 (BSS)- A court here today placed former state minister
for disaster management and relief Dr Md Enamur Rahman on a four-day remand
in connection with the death of Riday in the city's Savar area during the
anti-discrimination student movement.

Dhaka Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate KM Mohiuddin passed the order
rejecting Dr Enam's bail petition as police produced the accused before the
court and pleaded to place him on a seven-day remand.

Detective Branch (DB) of the police arrested Dr Enamur Rahman from the city's
Bhatara area in the early hours of January 27. Earlier, he was taken on
remand in connection with several cases.

Riday Ahmed was gunned down while taking part in a programme "Long march to
Dhaka" at Savar Thana road in the afternoon on August 5. He was rushed to
Enam Medical College Hospital where he succumbed to his injuries on August 8.

On August 30 last year, Raju Ahmed, father of Riday Ahmed, filed a case with
Savar Model Thana accusing 308 people including former prime minister Sheikh
Hasina.
