A virtual court in Dhaka placed Rafiqul Islam Madani, widely known as "Shishu Bokta", on a three-day remand today in a case filed with Paltan Police Station over the March 26 violence in Dhaka centering Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit.

Metropolitan Magistrate Debdash Chandra Adhikary passed the order after the Sub-Inspector of Paltan Police Station Md Zahidul Alam, also the investigation officer of the case produced him before the court virtually with a seven-day remand prayer.

Earlier in the day, Rafiqul was shown arrested in the case. No lawyer was virtually present at the court to defend him.

In the remand prayer, the IO said Rafiqul was involved with the mayhem through his provocative speeches against Narendra Modi even though his name was not included in the First Information Report of the case.

He needs to be remanded to gather information regarding the reason behind his provocative speeches, the IO said.

On May 10, Rafiqul Islam was sent to jail on completion of his 16-day remand in three cases filed with Motijheel and Tejgaon police stations under the Digital Security Act and the Penal Code.

On April 7, Rab arrested Rafiqul from his ancestral home in Netrakona's Purbatola area.
