The supremo of the banned Islamic outfit JMB, Shaekh Abdur Rahman, was Sunday produced in a court and taken on a fresh 10-day remand as the investigators continued the probe into his militancy mission, reports UNB.
He was produced in a CMM court for renewal of the police remand in a case filed with the Ramna police station under the Explosive Substances Act in connection with the blasting of a bomb in front of the Dhaka Sheraton Hotel on August 17.
Shaekh was brought in the CMM court at about 4:30pm amid tight security.
The police prayed for 10 days remand and metropolitan magistrate Shafiq Anwar gave the aye.
Three others accused in the case are JMB military-wing chief Ataur Rahman Sunny, northern region's commander Abdul Awal and Harkatul Jihad chief Mufti Hannan. They were not produced.
Detective Branch Sub-inspector (SI) Mashiur Rahman prayed for the remand for further interrogating Shaekh Rahman, who has already been awarded 40 years imprisonment for the murder of two judges in bombing in Jhalakati.
Out of 120 cases all over the country, charge sheet has been submitted to 40 courts.
Earlier, Shaekh Rahman along with his family members and two of his cohorts were interrogated under a 10-day remand granted after their arrest from Sylhet.
Another report adds from Sylhet: The JMB chief's eleven kin and cohorts were produced in a court here Sunday and five of them remanded for another 10-day spell in the investigators' bid to get at the root of militancy that recently shook the country.
