A Dhaka court on Thursday placed Amatullah Bushra, who was arrested on Thursday morning, in a case filed over the death of BUET student Fardin Noor Parash, on a five- day remand.

Dhaka metropolitan magistrate Mehedi Hasan passed the order when Golam Mawla, investigation officer in the case and inspector of Rampura Police Station, produced her before the court seeking a seven-day remand for her.

Earlier, police arrested Bushra, a friend of Fardin, whose body was recovered from the River Shitalakhkhya, on November 7, raiding her Banasree house in Dhaka on Thursday.

Police conducted a drive at Bushra’s house and arrested her in the morning, Rafiqul Islam, officer-in-charge of Rampura police station, said.

Earlier on the day, Kazi Nuruddin Rana, Fardin’s father, filed a case against Bushra and several unidentified people in connection with his son’s death with Rampura Police Station, said the OC.
