Ex-MP Solaiman Selim placed on fresh 3-day remand in student killing case
This news article from The Business Standard (Bangladesh) reports that a Dhaka court granted a fresh three-day remand for former Dhaka-7 lawmaker Md Solaiman Selim in connection with the murder of Ideal College student Khalid Hasan Saifullah, who was shot dead on July 18 during the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement (July Uprising). The investigation officer had requested a seven-day remand, but the court granted three days after hearing arguments from both the defense, which sought bail, and the prosecution, which opposed it. The article also provides background on Selim's legal history, noting he was first arrested on November 13, 2024 in Dhaka's Gulshan area and has faced multiple prior remands in this case and a separate murder case involving a victim named Rakib Hawlader. The original murder complaint was filed by the slain student's father, naming 52 accused including former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
