A Dhaka court on Tuesday placed ‘Joyjatra IPTV’ chairman Helena Jahangir on a fresh 8-day remand.

The remand was granted by the Dhaka Chief Metropolitan Magistrate’s Court after a hearing.

Earlier on Monday night, members of Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) have arrested two associates, Hajera Khatun and Sanaullah Nuree, of Helena Jahangir.

A total of five cases were filed against Helena Jahangir under the Liquor and Narcotics Control Act, Wildlife Protection Act, Special Powers Act, Digital Security Act and Telecommunications Act. She was arrested from her Gulshan residence on Thursday night.

Helena, the founder and CEO of Jayayatra Television, became a member of the AL Central Subcommittee on Women Affairs on January 18.

Helena has recently come into a discussion after her announcement on Facebook to form “Awami Chakrijibi League” under her leadership.
