A Dhaka court on Sunday allowed police to interrogate Shehnaz Rashid Khan, daughter of Sultan Shahriar Rashid Khan, a former army officer who was executed for killing the country's founding president Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, over the 'seizure of drugs' from her house.
Shehnaz, 28, who has been carrying for six months, and her brother-in-law Taiyeb Zaman, 37, and two others — Mahbub Hossain, 28, and Touhidul Islam, 28 — were arrested at Dhanmondi in the capital early Saturday in a case filed under the Narcotics Control Act 1990.
The metropolitan magistrate court allowed the police one day to quiz her after she was produced in the court with a seven-day remand prayer.
The three others were sent to jail, the court sources said.
The police said that they had seized 12 pieces of contraband Yaba pills and Tk 10,000 in fresh currency notes, 'earned from sales of the pills,' from the house.
Shehnaz, who is an architect, told New Age on Saturday that she had neither possessed the pills nor was involved in drug peddling. The police were levelling the charge at her to demean her family.
