M Humayun Kabir: A Dhaka court yesterday put actress Quazi Nawshaba Ahmed on a two-day fresh remand in a case filed under the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Act.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Amirul Haider Chowdhury passed the order rejecting the bail petition, reports UNB.
Earlier in the day, Mohammad Rafiqul Islam, inspector of Counter Terrorism and Transnational Crime (CTTC) unit and the investigation officer of the case, produced Nawshaba before the court on expiry of her 4-day remand and sought a 10-day fresh remand.
Nawshaba was detained by members of Rapid Action Battalion (Rab) from Uttara area in the capital on August 4 over spreading rumours on Facebook over the attack on protesting students.
In a Facebook live, Nawshaba claimed that the attackers killed two students and gouged out the eyes of another at Jigatala intersection.
The actress requested people to get united, take to the streets to ‘protect’ the students as they were attacked by Bangladesh Chhatra League activists.
