DHAKA,   – A Dhaka court today placed two more accused arrested in the case lodged over lynching of an innocent woman in capital’s North Badda area on July 20, on four-day remand.

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Shahidul Islam passed the order as police produced Abul Kalam and Kamal Hossain before the court and pleaded to place them on 10-day remand each for the sake of proper interrogation.

Police arrested the duo on July 22, scrutinizing the mobile video clips of that brutal incident.

Another court on July 22 placed three accused Bachchu Miah, Shahin and Bappi on four-day remand in the case. Another accused Zafar, who was arrested in the same case has given confessional statement yesterday and was sent to jail.

Taslima Begum Renu, 40, a single-mother of two, was brutally beaten to death by a mob in suspicion of being a child lifter, in front of North Badda Government Primary School on the morning of July 20. It was later learned that Renu went there to take information regarding admission of her daughter Tahsin Tuba, 4, at that school.

Nasir Uddin, nephew of Renu, filed the case with Badda Police Station against 400-500 unidentified people.
