A Dhaka court on Sunday placed nine people arrested in connection with attacking police boxes in the capital's Mirpur and Pallabi area recently, injuring two policemen, on remand for different terms.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Shafi Uddin passed the order, placing Joni Islam, Rassel Miah on two-day remand each and Suruj, Akter, Shamsher Uddin, Rony, Kalim, Masud Rana and Sham on one-day remand each.
Earlier the police produced the nine before the court and pleaded to place them on seven-day remand in the case filed with Mirpur Model Police Station. The defence however, argued for the bail of the accused.
Police on October 15 arrested the nine in separate raids in Mirpur area.
Some unruly people posing as rickshaw pullers attacked five police boxes across Mirpur and Pallabi area simultaneously. They mercilessly thrashed two policemen and vandalized a motorbike.
Police later filed the case against more than 100 for obstructing law enforcers from conducting duties and vandalizing government properties.
