Online Desk: A Dhaka court on Wednesday placed Rajshahi district unit BNP Convener Abu Sayeed Chand on a two-day remand in a case filed over giving ‘death threat’ to Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina at a public rally in Rajshahi district.

Dhaka’s Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Md Hasibul Haque passed the order after Md Zakir Hossain, an inspector of Chawkbazar Police Station and the investigation officer (IO) of the case, applied for a 10-day remand after producing Chand before the court.

On May 25, a Chhatra League leader Ashikur Rahman Anu filed the case against Chand with Chawkbazar Police Station.

On May 19, the BNP leader at a rally held on Shibchar High School playground in Puthia upazila of the district said there will be no 27 points or 10 points. The only demand is to send Sheikh Hasina to the grave.

A joint team of Rajshahi Metropolitan Police (RMP) and district police arrested him from a private car at Bheripara crossing under Rajpara Police Station on May 25. Following his comments, a total of 20 cases were filed against him with nine districts across the country.

He was placed on an eight-day remand in two phases in a case filed with Puthia Police Station under the Anti-Terrorism Act.
