Dwip remanded again for three days in Tahsif murder case

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Monirul Islam passed the order after a hearing, said State Prosecutor Shamsuddoha Sumon.

Earlier, on Tuesday, Dwip was placed on a three-day remand for interrogation in the case. He had previously been placed on a four-day remand on 31 October following his arrest.

Another suspect, Jerika Tasnim Disha, a friend of Tahsif, is also on remand in the case.

On Thursday, Inspector Firoz Uddin of the Tongi River Police outpost, who is also the investigating officer in the case, sought a fresh seven-day remand for Dwip to facilitate a proper investigation.

According to the remand petition, Dwip told investigators that he, Tahsif and Disha went to a motorcycle garage on 27 October. They later visited CP Five Star Snacks several times and went to Nest Bar & Restaurant in Uttara, where all three drank beer. Disha subsequently left for home.

At around 12:40am on 28 October, Tahsif and Dwip reached Tongi Mazar Basti and headed towards a field beside the Turag River. After spotting some people there, they separated, Dwip reportedly told investigators.

The petition claimed that Dwip had provided important information about the incident but avoided answering several questions during interrogation. It added that he needed to be questioned further to uncover the motive behind the incident and identify others involved.

Tahsif went missing after leaving home on the evening of 27 October in response to a call from his junior friend, Dwip. River Police recovered his body from the Rajabari Ghat area of the Turag River the following afternoon.

Later, Tahsif's father, KM Enayetul Karim, filed a murder case against unidentified people with Uttarkhan police station in the capital at 1:05am on 30 October. Police subsequently showed Dwip arrested in the case as a suspect.
