The Detective Branch of police in the early hours on Tuesday arrested Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal president Sultan Salahuddin Tuku and a Dhaka court remanded him in DB police custody for two days for interrogation in a case of killing a man by setting fire to a car at Maghbazar in the capital on June 26, 2010, on the eve of a hartal day called by the Bangladesh Nationalist Party.
Metropolitan magistrate Tanbhir Ahmed put Tuku in police custody after hearing a petition filed by DB inspector Fazlur Rahman seeking permission to interrogate him in their custody for 10 days in the case.
Faruk Hossain, a factory worker of Old Dhaka, succumbed to burn injuries sustained when the car he was travelling by was torched at Maghbazar on the night preceding the hartal enforced by the BNP on June 27.
Tuku's counsel Sanaullah Miah said plainclothesmen arrested Tuku at the house of a relative at Gulshan in the city at around 3:00am on Tuesday, the day preceding another hartal, a 48-hour one, called by the BNP and its allies.
The detective inspector told the court that Tuku was involved in the arson committed on June 26 last year and they needed 10 days to interrogate him to identify and arrest his accomplices.
