A Dhaka court has granted a four-day remand for former prosecutor Barrister Turinn Afroz in connection with an attempted murder case involving a student named Abdul Jabbar.

The verdict was delivered by Dhaka’s Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Zakir Hossain on Tuesday (April 8).

On the same day, the police from Uttara West Thana presented Afroz in court, requesting a 10-day remand. 

The defense lawyer, however, appealed for the remand to be canceled and sought bail for the accused. After hearing both sides, the judge granted a four-day remand for further questioning.

Earlier, Tureen Afroz, was arrested from her residence in Dhaka’s Uttara area on Monday night.
