Staff Correspondent:

A Dhaka court on Tuesday placed Barrister Tureen Afroz, former senior prosecutor of the International Crimes Tribunal (ICT), on a four-day remand in an attempted murder case.

On March 27 this year, the victim, Md Jabbar, 21, filed the case with Uttara West Police Station against former prime minister Sheikh Hasina and 49 others.

Jabbar suffered bullet wounds in the Uttara West area on August 4 last year.

Dhaka Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Md Jakir Hossain passed the order after police produced her before the court with a 10-day remand prayer, said a court staffer.

Tureen Afroz, 52, was arrested early today in connection with the case.

She was previously removed from the ICT after allegedly meeting accused war criminal Mohammad Wahidul Haque.

Tureen had prosecuted several high-profile cases, including those against executed war criminals Ali Ahsan Mohammad Mojaheed, Muhammad Kamaruzzaman, Motiur Rahman Nizami, Salauddin Quader Chowdhury, and Ghulam Azam, who died in jail.
