Shawdesh DEsk:

A Dhaka court on Thursday placed Amatullah Bushra, friend of Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) student Fardin Noor Parash – whose body was recovered from Shitalakhkhya river on November 7 – on a five-day police remand.

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Mehedi Hasan passed the order after police placed her before the court seeking a seven-day remand in the case filed over Fardin murder.

Police arrested Amatullah Bushra from her Banasree home in Dhaka on Thursday morning.

Earlier in the day, Kazi Nuruddin Rana, Fardin’s father, filed a case against Bushra and several unidentified people in connection with his son’s death with Rampura Police Station.

Bushra is a 3rd year student of East West University.

Police recovered Fardin’s body from the Shitalakhkhya river, behind a cotton mill at Siddhirganj, on November 7, three days after he went missing.

On November 4, Fardin left home and did not return. He was also unreachable on the phone.

Later, Fardin’s father lodged a general diary with Rampura Police in this regard.

Fardin was a 3rd year student of Buet’s civil engineering department and a resident of Qutubpur area in Narayanganj’s Fatullah.

On Tuesday, Sheikh Farhad, a physician at Narayanganj General Hospital where the autopsy was done, said there were several injury marks on Fardin’s head and body.

Police have detained two friends of Fardin for interrogation, Maniruzzaman Moni, officer-in-charge of Narayanganj River Police, said.

Fardin’s father on Tuesday said that his son was murdered and demanded justice.

“I may not get my son back, but I want justice. It is not difficult to identify the culprits and killers by tracking his mobile phone location,” he said after Fardin’s namaz-e-janaza at Buet Central Mosque, on Tuesday.
