Fardin murder: Bushra denied bail, sent to jail

A Dhaka court on Wednesday sent Amatullah Bushra, the prime accused in BUET student Fardin Noor Parash murder case, to jail after rejecting her bail petition on completion of her five-day remand.

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Md Ataullah passed the order when investigation officer of the case Md Mojibur Rahman, an inspector of the Detective Branch of police, produced her before the court with a report.

Bushra has given some important information about the killing which is being verified to know further details and she needs to be kept in jail until the investigation is completed, said the IO in the report.

Besides, the defence lawyer submitted a petition seeking bail for Bushra saying that their client was implicated in the case on a baseless allegation and she deserves bail.

Hearing both sides, the magistrate turned down the defence pleas and ordered the concerned authorities to send Bushra to Dhaka Central Jail in Keraniganj.

A team of Rampura police arrested Bushra from Banasree on November 10 and later, she was placed on a five-day remand in connection with the case.

Police recovered Fardin’s body from Shitalakhkhya river on November 7 three days after his disappearance.

Fardin was a 3rd-year student of BUET’s civil engineering department and a resident of Qutubpur area of Narayanganj’s Fatullah.

Later, Fardin’s father Kazi Nuruddin Rana filed a case against Bushra and some unidentified people with Rampura Police Station.

On November 4, Fardin left his house and has not returned home since then. He was also unreachable on the phone. Later, Fardin’s father lodged a general diary with Rampura Police in this regard.

Following an autopsy report, Sheikh Farhad, a physician at Narayanganj General Hospital on Tuesday claimed to have several injury marks on Fardin’s head and body.

Police have detained two friends of the deceased for interrogation, according to Maniruzzaman Moni, officer-in-charge of Narayanganj River Police.
