Court Correspondent :
The Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (CMM) Court of Dhaka on Sunday remanded AKM Zahirul Islam Palash, prime accused in the Krishna Kaberi Bishwas murder case, for two days for interrogation by police.
Magistrate Rashed Talukder of the CMM Court passed the order after the police pleaded for a 10-day remand to quiz Palash on Sunday. Before it, on Thursday, the accused surrendered to the court, but the court sent him to the jail rejecting his bail petition.
The case record says that on March 30, Palash came to greet Krishna’s husband and BRTA Deputy Director Sitangshu Shekhar Biswas on his birthday with cake and flowers. The family has been living in their Iqbal Road apartment at Mohammadpur. The accused was apparently known to the family.
Sitangshu lost his sense drinking fruit juice and then Palash attacked him with a hammer. When Krishna tried to save her husband, she was also attacked. Her clothes caught fire from the candles kept on the cake and she was burnt seriously. Krishna, 36, a former college teacher of local Mission International College, died the following day in a hospital.
Sitangshu and their daughters Srabani Biswas Sruti, 14, and Arti Biswas, 8, were also injured in the incident.
Sitangshu’s brother Sudhangshu Shekhar Biswas filed a case with the local police station a day after the attack. Zahirul Islam Palash was named the lone accused in the case.
