A Dhaka Court on Tuesday granted police three more days to interrogate Bangladesh Jatiya Party (BJP) Chairman and former lawmaker Barrister Andaleeve Rahman Partho in custody in a case over the attack on Setu Bhaban.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Saiful Islam passed the order after the police produced him before the court, seeking a 10-day remand.
Earlier on July 25, the additional chief metropolitan magistrate of Dhaka, Sultan Sohag Uddin, placed him on a five-day remand.
On July 25, the Detective Branch of Dhaka Metropolitan Police showed Andaleeve arrested in the case.
