Bdnews24.com . Dhaka

A Dhaka court has ordered Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami leader Sabbir to four-day police custody for grilling in the August 21 grenade attack case.

Dhaka metropolitan magistrate Shahriar Mahmud granted the remand on Thursday upon a petition by the investigation officer for seven-day police custody.

Sabbir, one of the top leaders of the banned Islamic outfit, was arrested from Atibazar of Keraniganj, Dhaka on April 24.

At least 23 people, including Ivy Rahman, wife of president Zillur Rahman, were killed and scores injured in the grisly attack on an Awami League rally on Bangabandhu Avenue in Dhaka on August 21, 2004.

The Harkat leader was earlier remanded in police custody in a case of bomb attack on a Communist Party of Bangladesh rally at Paltan Maidan in the city on January 20, 2001. The attack had left at least five people killed and 50 others injured.
