Jubo League leader Khaled remanded again

Jubo League Dhaka South Organising Secretary Khaled Mahmud Bhuiyan has been placed on fresh remand in two cases filed for running a casino in Fakirerpool.

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Mohammad Didar Hossain granted a 10-day remand for Khaled when Rab-3 Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Md Belayet Hossain produced him with a 20-day remand prayer in the cases.

The cases were filed under Firearms Act and Narcotics Control Act on completion of his seven-day remand period.

Earlier on September 19, the court of Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Mahmuda Akter granted a four-day remand for Khaled in one of the cases while the court of Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Shahinur Rahman put him on a three-day remand in another case filed under Narcotics Control Act.

Khaled, president of Youngmen’s Football Club, was arrested on September 18 from his Gulshan residence, in the wake of the crackdown at a casino in the football club.

Khaled’s arrest came after a Rab mobile court detained and sentenced 142 people raiding the “casino” in Fakirerpool Youngmen’s Club and seized some apparently blackjack tables, slot machines, Tk 24.29 lakh in cash, yaba pills, and some bottles of liquor.
