Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Nivana Khayer Jessy on May 13 placed Mumin on two-day fresh remand in the case.
Earlier on May 8, Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Moinul Islam placed Mumin and two other accused in the case – Farhad and Nazim Uddin – on four-day remand. Farhad and Nazim already made confessional statements.
The other prime accused PMO staff Fatema gave confessional statement on May 10. She confessed to bringing out a confidential file from PMO and handing that to Farhad, an associate of Mumin, who had changed the prime minister’s decision through forgery.
Mohammad Rafiqul Alam, director-7 of PMO, on May 5 filed the case with Tejgaon Police Station. Mumin was arrested on May 6 from Bhola.
Tariqul Islam Mumin was later expelled permanently from Bangladesh Chhatra League.
