Disha placed on fresh three-day remand over ex-BAF officer Tahsif's death

A Dhaka court on Wednesday placed Jerika Tasnim Disha, 19, on a fresh three-day remand for questioning in the murder case over the death of former Bangladesh Air Force officer Flight Lieutenant KM Tahsif Souri.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Md Manjurul Islam passed the order after a hearing, said State Prosecutor Omar Faruk Faruqui.
Earlier, Disha was placed on a four-day remand on 1 November following her arrest from her Kafrul residence at around 1am that day.
On Wednesday, Investigation Officer Firoz Uddin produced Disha before the court after completion of the remand and sought a fresh seven-day remand for further interrogation.
According to the latest remand petition, Disha had provided some important information about the incident during interrogation, which was being kept confidential and verified in the interest of the investigation.

However, she reportedly tactfully avoided answering several questions and remained silent, the petition stated, adding that the information obtained from her needed to be cross-checked against the statement of Dwip, another accused.
A review of Tahsif's mobile phone call records also revealed that he had spoken to Disha several times, the petition said, adding that investigators needed to determine whether there had been any tensions in their relationship before the incident.
During the remand hearing, defence lawyers Mohammad Iman Hossain, Abdur Rahman and others sought cancellation of the remand and bail for the accused, which the prosecution opposed. After hearing both sides, the court granted a fresh three-day remand for Disha.
