Police on Tuesday sought a 10-day remand for journalists Mozammel Babu, Shyamal Dutta and former president of Ekattorer Ghatak Dalal Nirmul Committee Shahriar Kabir in two murder cases.

The three were produced before the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate's Court of Dhaka in the morning and the hearing on the remand prayer will be held later in the day, a sub-inspector working at the court told journalists.

Earlier on Monday, a team of police arrested Babu, managing director and editor-in-chief of Ekattor TV, and Shyamal, former general secretary of Jatiya Press Club, from Mymensingh's Dhobaura border.

Shahriar Kabir was arrested from his Banani residence the same day.
