A court in Cumilla has granted a three-day remand to Senior Warrant Officer Hafizur Rahman in connection with the Tonu murder case, marking the first arrest in the case after ten years.
Senior Judicial Magistrate Mominul Haque issued the remand order this afternoon at Cumilla Sadar Cognisance Court-1 after the Police Bureau of Investigation (PBI) produced the suspect before the court.
Investigating Officer Tarikul Islam of PBI Dhaka had earlier arrested Hafizur Rahman from his residence and presented him before the Cumilla Sadar court.
On April 6, the seventh investigating officer of the much-discussed case sought permission to cross-match DNA samples of three suspects: Sergeant Zahid, Warrant Officer Hafizur Rahman and soldier Sahinul Alam.
According to court officials, the case has so far seen 80 hearing dates, with seven investigating officers from four agencies handling the probe over the years.
Tonu’s parents, along with her younger brother Rubal Hossain, appeared before the Cumilla court.
