A Dhaka court on Friday remanded one more BDR personnel in police custody for two days for interrogation in connection with the February 25-26 mutiny at the Bangladesh Rifles headquarters in Dhaka.
Metropolitan magistrate Moazzem Hossain passed the order for subedar Sirazul Islam after hearing an application of the Criminal Investigation Department seeking an eight-day remand.
The CID has been assigned to investigate the case filed in connection with the mutiny in which 74 people, including 57 army officers, were killed.
