A Dhaka Court on Tuesday remanded film actress Nargis Akhter Nishi and her friend Zahed Manna in police custody for two days for interrogation over the death of their domestic help Piya Akhter.
Dhaka metropolitan magistrate SK Tofael Hasan granted the remand as the investigation officer sought seven days remand in police custody.
The police on Monday arrested Nargis Akhter and Zahed Manna on charges of tempting Piya Akhter to commit suicide by hanging from a ceiling fan at a their house at Uttara Sector 11.
The inquest report by the police says injury marks were found on the victim's body.
Piya Akhter's elder brother Mujibur Rahman said that her sister went missing four years ago following family feud and they came to know her whereabouts after her death.
'We are well off and my sister cannot be a household worker. We think she was killed,' he added.
The investigation officer of the case, Abul Miah, said they had already compiled sufficient information on the accused and the victim.
'But, without post-mortem report, we cannot trace the cause of her death,' he added.
He also told New Age that there was an allegation against Nargis Akhter of torturing another household worker in 2005.
