Nasir, Omi placed on 5-day remand

A Dhaka court yesterday placed former Uttara Club Limited president Nasir U Mahmud and his associate Tuhin Siddiqui Omi on a five-day remand each in an attempted rape and murder case.

Senior Judicial Magistrate Rajib Hasan passed the order after Investigation Officer Md Kamal Hossain, an inspector of Savar Police Station, produced the two before the court with a ten-day remand prayer each in the case, court sources said.

Film actress Pori Moni filed the case against Nasir, also a real-estate entrepreneur and presidium member of Jatiya Party, Omi and four others on June 14.

On June 14, a team of detectives carried out a raid at a house in Uttara sector-1 and arrested Nasir and Omi in this connection.

They were later placed on a seven-day remand in a case filed with Airport Police Station under the Narcotics Control Act on June 15.
