Hasan Syeed, the detained husband of Dhaka University teacher Rumana Monzur, was taken on a one-day fresh remand on Sunday for quizzing on charge of attempt to murder his wife.
Metropolitan magistrate Shahriar Mahmud Adnan issued the order as the investigation officer, subinspector Bahauddin Faruki of the Detective Branch, produced Hasan before the court with a prayer for further 10 days' remand.
The investigation officer, in his remand petition, said Hasan Syeed should be quizzed more to know why or at whose instigation he had assaulted his wife so brutally.
On June 16, the same court had placed Hasan on two days' police remand.
Hasan was arrested from the city's Uttar Mugda area on June 15 on charge of brutally torturing his wife, Rumana Monzur, an assistant professor of international relations department of Dhaka University.
She was tortured by her husband on June 5 when her husband allegedly tried to gouge both of her eyes during an alleged scuffle between them.
Meanwhile, dozens of graduate and post-doctoral students and visiting scholars, including the acting principal of Saint John's College of the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Olav Slaymaker, in a statement, on Sunday said, 'Her husband publicly confessed that he tried to kill her, and accused her of cheating on him while she was studying in Canada and living in St John's College of University of British Columbia in Vancouver. We, people from Saint John's College, who lived with Rumana during her stay in Canada, strongly reject this accusation.'
After undergoing treatment in Labaid Specialised Hospital in Dhaka, Rumana along with her parents and only daughter went to Chennai on June 14 for better treatment of her eyes.
Rumana will return home on Monday as eye specialists in India found no hope for her eyes to cure, the family members said.
