A Dhaka court today (January 27) placed Salman F Rahman, former private industry affairs adviser to ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, on a three-day remand in connection with the killing of Al-Amin during the student-led mass uprising in July-August.

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Md Saifuzzaman issued the order after police produced Salman before the court seeking a seven-day remand. 

Salman is suspected to be one of the key figures behind some of the country’s most significant financial crimes in recent years.
 
Salman F Rahman was arrested from the capital's Sadarghat area as he was trying to flee the capital along with former law minister Anisul Huq through the waterways on August 13, 2024. He was placed on a 10-day remand in shopper Shahjahan Ali murder case the next day.
 
According to the case documents, police and Awami League cadres attacked agitating people during the anti-discrimination student movement in the capital's Jatrabari area on July 21. They fired at the protesters indiscriminately. Al-Amin got shot in the attack and died on the spot.
 
His father filed the case with the Jatrabari Police Station against 99 named accused and 100-150 unnamed others.
