DHAKA: A Dhaka court Sunday again placed Nayeb-e-Ameer of Jamaat Delwar Hossain Sayedee on two days’ remand in a case filed for attempt to murder Prof Humayun Azad.

Metropolitan Magistrate SK Tofael Hassan granted the two-day remand in the ‘attempt-to-murder’ case for the deadly attack on the Dhaka University teacher and progressive writer, Prof Azad, on February 27, 2004.

Criminal Investigation Department (CID) inspector Mostafizur Rahman, also the IO of the case, produced him in the court in the afternoon with five days’ remand prayer.

Earlier, Sayedee had been remanded for six days in three phases on the charge of “attempt to kill” professor Azad.

On February 27, 2004, some miscreants attacked professor Humayun Azad near TSC while he was returning home from Ekushey Book Fair, living him seriously injured.

Azad died on August 11, 2007 during research work in Germany.

Delwar Hossain Sayedee was arrested along with Jamaat chief Motiur Rahman Nizami and Secretary-General Ali Ahsan Mohammad Mojaheed on June 29 on charges of hurting religious sentiments of Muslims through their blasphemous comments.
