Police have extracted very important information from ex-North South University teacher Abul Hasnat Rezaul Karim about Gulshan attack during his remand, said deputy commissioner of Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Masudur Rahman on Monday, reports UNB. Meanwhile, a Dhaka court yesterday sent Abul Hasnat Rezaul Karim to jail on completion of his 8-day remand in a case filed over Gulshan terror attack. “We’ve got very important information from Hasnat during the remand he was taken on twice …now we are scrutinising the information,” he said. Masud said they will not seek fresh remand for Hasnat. “We’ll seek remand for integrating him in the future, if necessary,” he added.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Mohammad Ahsan Habib order Hasnat to jailafter inspector Humayun Kabir of the Counter Terrorism and Transnational Crime (CTTC) unit of Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) produced him before the court after his remand completed.
The court also fixed August 24 for hearing on the bail petition filed by Hasnat’s lawyer Shah M Shahabuddin. On August 13, a Dhaka court placed Abul Hasnat Rezaul Karim on an eight-day fresh remand in connection with the Gulshan terror attack. Another Dhaka court on August 4 placed Hasnat Karim on an eight-day remand. On August 3, a team of Counter Terrorism and Transnational Crime (CTTC) arrested Hasnat and Toronto University student Tahmid Hasib Khan, who is now in jail following his remand twice, from the city’s Gulshan and Bashundhara areas respectively for their suspected link to the attack. They were shown arrested under Section 54 of the CrPC. Abul Hasnat, a businessman, and Tahmid Hasib, a Bangladeshi origin Canadian, were rescued along with 11 others during a commando operation at the Holey Artisan Bakery at the city’s diplomatic zone Gulshan on July 2 following a 12-hour hostage standoff. Their family members claimed that they had remained traceless since then. However, law enforcement agencies said they set them free after interrogation over the café’ attack. Twenty hostages, including 17 foreign nationals, were killed by militants, while five militants and one suspected associate of the attackers were killed during the commando operation in the café on July 2.
