A Dhaka court on Sunday rejected an appeal for placing cartoonist Ahmed Kabir Kishore on remand, in connection with a case filed against him under the Digital Security Act.

Metropolitan Magistrate Mohammad Jashim passed the order after Barrister Jyotirmoy Barua submitted an application before the court.

Earlier on Tuesday, Md Afchhar Ahmed, sub-inspector of Counter Terrorism and Transnational Crime unit, submitted the three-day remand prayer for interrogating Kishore in connection with the case.

Kishore has been in jail for over nine months alongside Mushtaq, who died in custody on Thursday.
