The High Court has directed not to place Rajshahi district unit BNP convener Abu Sayeed Chand on remand in cases filed in different districts on an allegation of making a death threat to the Prime Minister.
The HC bench of Justice KM Kamrul Kader and Justice Md Shawkat Ali Chowdhury on Sunday passed the order after hearing a writ petition challenging the legality of taking Chand in remand custody.
Earlier on May 25, police arrested Abu Sayeed Chand in Rajshahi for allegedly issuing a death threat to Prime Minister at a party program on May 19.
Later, a video of his speech went viral on social media.
