Police sought 8 days remand for acting Pro-Vice Chancellor of North South University (NSU) Gias Uddin Ahsan and three others on Sunday noon.

Inspector of Counter Terrorism Unit of Police Humayun Kabir placed the remand plea to Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Court.

Ahsan, now the acting pro-VC of the privately-run university, his nephew and one other were arrested on charges of renting a flat to Gulshan café attackers and withholding tenants’ information from the police.

This morning, they were shown arrested under Section 54.

Masudur Rahman, Deputy Commissioner (Media) of Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) said Gias Uddin Ahsan is the owner of the house. His nephew Alam and manager Mahbub supervised it.

Though DMP directed house owner to reserve tenant information before let them rent the flat, they did not care for it.
