A Dhaka court on Tuesday placed three leaders of Muktijuddho Moncho, including Al Mamun and Yeasir Arafat Turjo, on a three-day remand each in connection with a case filed over attack on Dhaka University Central Students’ Union (DUCSU) Vice President Nurul Haque Nur.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Md Moinul Islam passed the order when the law enforcers produced Mamun, Turjo and Mehedi Hasan Shanto in the afternoon.
Of them, Mamun and Turjo have been put on remand a day after they were arrested from the capital’s Shahbagh area on Monday.
Mamun, General Secretary of the Moncho’s central unit, and Turjo, General Secretary of its Dhaka University unit, and 33 others were made accused in the case filed with Shahbagh Police Station early in the day.
Meanwhile, around 30 to 35 people, including Muktijuddho Moncho leaders Aminul Islam Bulbul and Al Mamun, were sued in connection with the attack on DUCSU VP Nurul Haque Nur  
and his followers on Sunday.
Apart from Bulbul and Mamun, six other Muktijuddho Moncho leaders and activists-Yeasir Arafat Turjo, ASM Sonet, Imran Sarker, Yead Al Riyad, Mahbub Hasan Niloy and Touhidul Islam Mahim-were made accused by name while the others were unidentified.
Rais Uddin, a Sub-Inspector of Shahbagh Police Station, filed the case around 12:45pm yesterday.
Mamun is a former deputy liberation affairs secretary of the central unit of Bangladesh Chhatra League, the pro-AL student body. Turjo is the organising secretary of DU BCL.
On Sunday, activists of a faction of Muktijuddho Moncho, mostly comprised of Chhatra League men, beat up and injured Nur, storming into his office at the Dhaka University Central Students’ Union (Ducsu) building. At least 27 of Nur’s supporters were injured in the attack.
Of the injured, Tuhin Farabi was kept at the intensive care unit (ICU) of Dhaka Medical College and Hospital and his condition improved yesterday and he was taken off life support, said the hospital’s Director Brigadier General AKM Nasir Uddin,
The Moncho, claimed to be comprised of freedom fighters’ children, was founded in October last year to counter the anti-quota demonstrations led by Nur and other quota reformist leaders.
