Sub-inspector Adam Ali
of Hazaribagh police station told New Age that a Dhaka court upon prayer for seven days remand allowed two days remand for interrogating Reza for killing Nadia.
He said that they were interrogating Reza to unearth the mystery behind the killing.
Hazaribagh police officer-in-charge Rafiqul Islam said that the victim's brother, Shafi Ahamed Shariar Sujon, had filed a case against Reza, his mother Jannatul Khatun, and his younger brother Jewel, for killing Nadia on Monday morning.
Dhaka Medical College Hospital morgue sources said that the body of Nadia bore marks of injuries in her neck and chest.
Sujon alleged that Reza had killed his sister with the help of his brother and mother at their Hazaribagh residence after she had gone there on Sunday.
Reza, who admitted that he had tortured Nadia to death, had allegedly killed his own father, Habul Sikder by stabbing at their village home in 2004, Sujon said.
He further said that Reza had contested for the post of vice-chairman of Gournadi Upzaila of Barisal in last Upzaila elections on a Awami League ticket.
Driver Rabiul, who was made the approver in the murder case, said that Reza tried to dump the body after he had refused to carry the body to his village home in Barisal.
Police arrested Shafiqur Rahman, also known as Reza Sikder, at about 8:00pm on Sunday when he was looking for a place driving a car to dump the body of his wife Kamarunnahar Sadia.
Shafiqur's driver Md Rabiul, who was also arrested by police, said that Shafiqur had asked him to carry the body to Barisal and bury it there.
He also said that he had dragged the body down from Shafiqur's house at Hazaribagh residence in the capital.
Shafiqur had married Sadia, a student of law at Dhaka International University, six months ago after two years of affairs.
In Barisal, local people in Gournadi Upazila said Shafikur Rahman Sikdar is locally known as Rezaul Sikdar and defamed for
his notorious activities in the area like extortion, toll collection, torture on women and other types of criminal and terrorist activities.
Rezaul was a JCD leader and former vice president of Gournadi Government College Students Union and during the last BNP regime he was expelled from the organization. He later joined Awami League.
A lot of BNP activists and leaders were assaulted by him after that and a lot of cases and general dairies were registered with Gournadi police station against him by different sections of people including local businessmen and rival political leaders.
Nurul Islam, officer-in-charge of Gournadi police station said there were four cases against Rezaul with his police station.
On April 22, 2003, Rezaul was accused in a case for murdering his father Habul Sikdar, a former UP chairman of Barthi union of the Upazila.
Out of other 3 cases, one was lodged on August 15, 2008 for cheating and misappropriating money, one on August 18, 2008 for extortion, death threats and toll collection, and another one on January 29, 2009 under explosives act and attempt to murder by torture.
About the present status of the cases against Rezaul Sikdar, Sub-Inspector Monir, duty officer of Gournadi police station, said Rezaul was acquitted from all cases through final report except the cases of cheating and the general diaries against him were still under investigation.
Sadia's brother Sujon said that Shafiqur alias Rezaul had earlier married two times and had a daughter from a wife. He divorced those wives and married Sadia six months ago.
Sujon said, 'Shafiqur had tortured my sister for six months.' He added that Sadia had no communications with them for a week.
