6 arrestees on fresh remands

STAFF REPORTER, Ctg

A court yesterday (Thursday) placed all the six arrestees in the liquid cocaine haul case on fresh remand in different terms. Metropolitan Magistrate Rahamat Ali passed the order after investigation officer of the case Md Kamaruzzaman, assistant commissioner of Detective Branch (North) of Chittagong Metropolitan Police (CMP), appearing before the court submitted a petition for a ten-day remand for each of the arrestees.
When contacted, Md Fakruddin Chowdhury, public prosecutor, told The Independent, “We have submitted pray for a 10-day remand for each arrestee; however, after hearing proceeding, the court granted remand for each of the arrestees in different terms.” The court granted a five-day remand for Golam Mostafa Sohel, managing director of Prime Hatchery and Khanjahan Ali Limited. Earlier he was placed on a 10-day remand.
The court gave a two-day remand to Atikur Rahman, business executive of Mandal Group, a business firm of readymade garments exporters, AK Azad, manager of Cosco Bangladesh Shipping Lines Ltd, and Mostafa Kamal, an official of a private developer company.  Earlier, they were quizzed for 13 days. The court also granted a five-day remand for Mehedi Alam, executive of a securities firm, and Saiful Islam, an official of C&F agent. Earlier, they were placed on a five-day remand.
Following a report of the Interpol, the CMP requested the Chittagong Port Authority (CPA) to seal off a container which was imported from Bolivia. On June 6, 2015, in presence of CPA, customs intelligence and CMP officials, the containers, suspected to have 107 drums filled with liquid cocaine, were sealed off in Chittagong port. On June 8, the containers carrying the drums containing edible oil were opened and examined in the presence of senior officials of police, Department of Narcotics Control, intelligence branch, customs intelligence and CPA. However, Department of Narcotics Control, in a field level examination conducted on the same day, found no existence of cocaine in the drums. So, the sample of the edible oil in the drums was sent to Dhaka for further test. On June 27, Customs Intelligence and Investigation Directorate informed that cocaine was traced in a drum of oil.
