Metropolitan Magistrate Sarafuzzaman Ansari on Thursday approved the remand of Apu, who contested for the Shariatpur-3 seat in Dec 30 parliamentary elections. Mozibur Rahman Dulal, the lawyer for Apu, pleaded for Apu’s bail, but the court rejected his petition. The trio were remanded in police custody in a case started over money laundering and antiterrorism charges. The RAB said the money was part of a conspiracy to foil the polls and arrested Apu on Jan 4 in the case. A former vice-president of the JCD’s Jagannath University unit, Apu was an assistant personal secretary to Tarique.
