Former Shipping Minister and Awami League Presidium Member Shahjahan Khan has been granted seven days of remand.
Dhaka Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Court issued the order on Friday afternoon, following a police request for a ten-day remand.
Shahjahan Khan, also the Executive President of the Bangladesh Sarak Paribahan Sramik Federation, was arrested by the Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) from Dhanmondi, Dhaka, last night in connection with a murder case.
