A Dhaka court on Monday placed Abu Zandal alias Moin Uddin, leader of the banned militant outfit Harkat-ul-Jihad al-Islami (Huji), on a five-day remand in one of the two cases filed for the August 21 grenade attack.
Third Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Md Ali Hussain passed the order after Criminal Investigation Department's Special Superintendent Abdul Kahar Akhand, also the investigation officer of the case, produced him before it with a seven-day remand prayer.
The case was filed for killing people during the grenade attack in 2004 and another case was filed under the Explosive Substances Act.
Zandal, who was arrested from Gazipur on February 14, 2008, was earlier remanded for 14 days in the two cases.
At least 23 people, including Ivy Rahman, were killed and scores injured in the grenade attacks on the AL rally at Bangabandhu Avenue on August 21 in 2004.
