DHAKA: A Chittagong court on Thursday (December 21) granted 2-day remand for former Chittagong University (CU) assistant proctor Anowar Hossain, in a case filed over the murder of CU BCL leader Diaz Irfan Chowdhury.

Shiblu Kumar Dey, Senior Judicial Magistrate of Chittagong, passed the order.

District Police Inspector (Prosecution) Swapon Kumar Majumder told Banglanews that CID Chittagong Zone Assistant Superintendent of Police Jashim Uddin sought five-day remand for Anowar. The court granted two days, after the hearing.

On November 20 in 2016, police recovered the hanging body of Diaz Irfan Chowdhury from his family residence in Chittagong.

The primary autopsy report, published on November 23, said he committed suicide by hanging himself.

On Nov 24, Diaz’s family rejected the autopsy report and started a case with a Chittagong court accusing 10 people of the murder.

The case filed by Jaheda Amin Chowdhury at a senior judicial magistrate's court accused 10 including Chittagong University's assistant proctor Anwar Hossain.

Diaz’s body was exhumed after a court ordered a re-examination. On Aug 7 this year, upon receiving the latest forensic report that found signs of murder, the court ordered the Criminal Investigation Department or CID to conduct the inquiry.
