A court here today placed former Dhaka-7 lawmaker Solaiman Salim on a total seven-day remand in two separate cases filed over the killing of Rakib Hawlader and Khaled Hasan Saifullah during the recent anti-discrimination student movement.

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Belal Hossain passed the orders, placing Solaiman on a four-day remand in Khaled killing case and another three-day remand in the case lodged over Rakib murder.

A team of Chawkbazar Police Station arrested Solaiman Salim from the Gulshan area on November 14.

Rakib Hawlader got shot as the Awami League and its front and associate bodies fired live rounds and hurled crude bombs on the protesters during the student-people movement at Chankharpool crossing in the morning on August 5.

The Awami League goons even stopped the people from rescuing Rakib and taking him to the nearest hospital.

He was later rushed to Sir Salimullah Medical College Mitford Hospital, where the attending doctors declared him dead on arrival. His father Jahangir Hossain filed the case with Chawkbazar Police Station on September 23.

Khaled Hasan Saifullah was killed on July 18 while taking part in an anti- discrimination rally in the Lalbagh Government Residential Colony area.

His father Kamrul Hasan on August 19 filed the case against 52 including ousted prime minister Sheikh Hasina.
