A Dhaka court yesterday placed three individuals on a seven-day remand in connection with the killing of Jahidul Islam Parvez, a third-year student of Primeasia University, in the capital's Banani area on April 19.

Dhaka Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Md Sanaullah passed the order after police produced Al Kamal Sheikh, 19, Alvi Hasan Zunayed, 19, and Al Amin Sani, 19, before the court.

Police arrested them in Mohakhali early yesterday, said AKM Moin Uddin, inspector (operations) of Banani Police Station.

"They are not named in the FIR, but primary investigation suggests they were involved in the murder," he said.

CCTV footage confirmed their presence at the crime scene, he added.

On April 20, Jahidul's cousin, Humayun Kabir, filed the case with Banani Police Station, naming eight people, including two leaders of the Banani Thana unit of Students Against Discrimination, and accusing 25-30 unnamed individuals.

Humayun said he identified the named accused using CCTV footage.

The named accused include Sobhan Niyaz Tushar, joint convener of SAD's Banani Thana unit, and Hriday Miazi, joint member secretary of the same unit.

The other six are Meheraj Islam, Abu Jahr Giffari alias Piash, Mahathir Hasan, Rifat, Ali, and Fahim.
