A Dhaka court has remanded former chief election commissioner KM Nurul Huda to police custody for another four days of questioning in a case filed by the BNP on charges of sedition and conducting an election “without the people’s mandate”. Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Awlad Hossain Muhammad Jonaid gave the order after a hearing on Friday. After being arrested last Sunday, the court remanded Huda for four days on Monday. Dhaka Metropolitan Public Prosecutor Omar Faruq Faruqi represented the state at the hearing while Advocate Touhidul Islam Sajib opposed the remand on behalf of Huda and petitioned for bail. After the hearing, the court rejected the bail and allowed the former CEC to be interrogated in police custody for another four days, said Sub Inspector Rafiqul Islam of the Prosecution Police.
