A Dhaka court yesterday placed Abu Taleb alias Babul Ansari, assistant security officer of the parliament secretariat, on a three-day fresh remand in connection with the August 17 serial bomb blasts case.

Detective Branch (DB) of police produced Ansari before the Court of Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Dhaka on completion of his five-day remand.

The investigation officer (IO) submitted a petition for a seven-day fresh remand in which the IO said during his five-day remand Ansari tried to suppress the incident.

It made the IO confused about the incident and became sure that Ansari was directly involved in the August 17 serial bomb blasts. So he needs to be quizzed to find out the vital clue about the incident and whereabouts of his accomplices, the IO added.

After hearing, Metropolitan Magistrate Nani Gopal Biswas granted him a three-day remand for interrogation.

Police arrested Ansari at his Green Road Staff Quarters residence on October 5 in connection with his militant link.

Later, he was shown arrested in a case filed with Tejgaon Police Station in connection with the August 17 serial bomb blasts and taken on a 12-day remand in two phases.
