A court today (November 12) sent former minister and Awami League advisory council member Amir Hossain Amu to jail in the trader Abdul Wadud murder case.

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Sharifur Rahman upheld the verdict after the police produced Amu in the court after the expiration of the six-day remand in the case and pleaded to keep him behind bars until the investigation was completed.

However, Amu’s lawyer argued for his release on bail.

After hearing both sides, the court sent Amu to prison.

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Shahin Reza on November 7 jailed the former minister for six days in the murder case.

Abdul Wadud was killed in the New Market area of the city on July 19 during the recent Student Anti-Discrimination Movement.

Wadud’s relative Abdur Rahman filed a case against 130 people on August 21, including ousted prime minister Sheikh Hasina, Obaidul Quader, Anisul Huq, Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal, Salman F. Rahman and Amir Hossain Amu.
