A Panchagarh court has put former railway minister Nurul Islam Sujan on a 3-day remand in a case over the murder of an easy bike driver during the anti-discrimination student movement in Panchagarh.

Senior Judicial Magistrate Nahid Aktar Juliyet issued the order following a hearing on Thursday. When Sujan was brought to the court at 10:20 am people gathered on the court premises and chanted slogans like “Bhua Bhua” and “Vote Chor Vote Chor”.

Last year, easy bike driver Al Amin remained missing since August 4 after participating in the anti-discrimination student movement in Panchagarh.

Al Amin’s father Manu Mia filed a murder case on November 10 accusing 19 people including ex minister Sujan, also district Awami League president.

Another 150 people were named as unidentified accused in the case.
