Former railway minister Nurul Islam Sujan has been remanded for 3-day in a case over the murder of an easy bike driver during the anti-discrimination student movement in Panchagarh.
Senior Judicial Magistrate Nahid Akter Juliet passed the order after hearing on Thursday.
When Sujan was brought to the court at 10:20am people gathered on the Panchagarh court premises and chanted slogans like "Bhua Bhua" and "Bhot Chor Bhot Chor".
Last year, easy bike driver Al Amin remained missing since August 4 after participating in the anti-discrimination student movement in Panchagarh.
Al Amin's father Manu Mia filed a murder case on November 10 accusing 19 people including ex minister Sujan, also district Awami League president.
Another 150 people were named as unidentified accused in the case.
