A Dhaka court on Monday placed accused Sohel Rana on a two-day remand in a case filed over the killing of his dentist wife in the capital's Dakshin Khan area.

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Aminul Islam Junaid passed the order, said Sub-Inspector Abu Bakar Siddique of the Prosecution Division.

On 1 August, the investigating officer of the case, Sub-Inspector Habibur Rahman, produced Sohel before the court and sought a seven-day remand.

The court sent the accused to jail and fixed Monday for the remand hearing.

The victim's sister, Sarah Sultana Polly, filed a murder case against unidentified individuals the following day.

Police later arrested Pinu's husband, Sohel Rana, as a suspect in the case.
