Court Correspondent :
The Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (CMM) Court of Dhaka yesterday (Wednesday) placed Ibrahim Ridoy, prime accused in the killing of Taslima Begum Renu by a mob on July 20 in Dhaka’s Uttar Badda area, on a five-day remand. Magistrate Mohammad Jasim of the CMM Court passed the order after Inspector Abdur Razzak, who is also the Investigation Officer of the case, produced him in the court with a 10-day remand plea.
Accused Ibrahim Ridoy, 19, used to sell vegetables in front of Uttar Baddda Government Primary School gate.
Md Abdul Baten, Additional Police Commissioner (DB) disclosed names of some other people involved with the crime at a press conference on Wednesday.
On Saturday morning, Taslima, 40, a mother of two children, went to Uttar Badda Government Primary School regarding admission of her child where she talked with a female guardian of a student about the admission process.
At one stage of their conversation, the guardian suspected Renu as a child kidnapper after she (Renu) asked the address of the guardian.
After hearing this, Ridoy along with 15 to 20 others went to the school. In such a situation, the school authorities locked Taslima in a room on the first floor of school building.
As the news spread, more people from the nearby market went there and broke into the room and started beating Renu which led her to death.
Later, Ridoy fled to his village home in Narayanganj following the incident and cut off his hair to hide his identity.
The Detective Branch of Dhaka Metropolitan Police on Tuesday arrested Ridoy from his aunt’s house in Narayanganj’s Bhulta upazila.
Police have so far arrested eight persons in this connection. Some of them were arrested after scrutinizing amateur video that had gone viral.
