A Dhaka court on Sunday has granted a two-day remand to Sultana Ahmed, a former member of parliament from the reserved women's seat and general secretary of Jatiyatabadi Mohila Dal, for making provocative statements about Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
Metropolitan magistrate Shahidur Islam passed the order, responding to a petition filed by Paltan Police Station sub-inspector Ashraful Alam seeking the court’s permission to take her under their custody for five days for interrogation in the case.
Gopalganj district Chhatra League’s former president Abdul Hamid filed the case against Sultana on Sunday and a team of Rapid Action Battalion arrested her at her Gulshan home in Dhaka and handed her to the Paltan Police Station, said the police station officer-in-charge Salahuddin.
According to the case documents, the former BCL leader alleged that the ex-BNP MP made derogatory comments on Hasina during a party programme on September 1, 2022.
