Ex-MP Sheuly Azad placed on 8-day remand in Brahmanbaria murder case

A Brahmanbaria court has placed former reserved seat MP Umme Fatema Nazma Begum Sheuly Azad on an eight-day remand in connection with a murder case.

Brahmanbaria Senior Judicial Magistrate Court-5 Judge Swagata Samya passed the order today (7 October), said court inspector Md Habibullah Sarkar.

After the court’s decision, she was transferred to the district jail, said the inspector.

The murder case dates back to 2021, following the death of Liton Mia during anti-Modi protests in the Sarail Bishwaroad area.

The case was filed by Maulana Sultan Uddin on 3 September on behalf of the victim, naming 67 individuals, including Sheuly, along with several hundred unidentified others. 

Sheuly was arrested by the Detective Branch (DB) police at her residence in Dhaka’s Niketan last night.
