Golden Monir remanded again

Two courts in Dhaka on Thursday placed vehicle and gold trader Md Monir Hossain alias Golden Monir on total nine-day remand in three separate cases lodged with the Badda Police Station.

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Moinul Islam placed Monir on a three-day remand in an arms case and another three-day remand in the case lodged under the Special Powers Act (SPA).

But the court said that the tenure of the remand in the two cases would run concurrently.

Meanwhile, Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Mamunur Rashid placed the notorious gold trader in three-day remand in a narcotics case.

Earlier on November 22, two courts had placed the accused on total 18-day remand in the three cases.

Dhaka Additional Metropolitan Magistrate Abu Bakar Siddique had placed Monir on a seven-day remand in an arms case and seven-day remand in a case filed under the SPA.

The court in its order, however, had said the remand in the two cases will go on concurrently.

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Masudur Rahman had placed the accused on a four-day remand in a narcotics case.

Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) arrested Monir on November 21 and recovered a foreign-made pistol, bullets, foreign liquor, currencies of ten countries, eight kilograms of gold ornaments, and Tk1.9 crore in cash from his Merul Badda residence.
