A Dhaka court has granted a fresh three-day remand for Jerika Tasnim Disha, 19, arrested in the murder case of former Bangladesh Air Force Flight Lieutenant KM Tahsif Sauri.
She had earlier been placed on a four-day remand.
On Wednesday, Metropolitan Magistrate Manjurul Islam passed the order after a hearing.
Earlier, the investigation officer, Inspector Firoz Uddin of the Tongi River Police Station, produced Disha before the court and sought a seven-day remand. State prosecutor Shamsuddoha Sumon confirmed the development.
According to the remand petition, Disha accompanied Tahsif to Nest Bar and Restaurant in Uttara on the night of October 27. They had also visited CP Five Star Snacks several times. She was reportedly seen with another accused, Ahmed Shahriar Reza Dip, 23, at a motorcycle garage and had travelled to different places with Tahsif on a motorcycle.
The investigation officer said an analysis of Tahsif’s call detail records (CDRs) showed that he had spoken to Disha several times before the incident.
The petition also claimed that preliminary investigations had found evidence of her alleged involvement in the murder.
Investigators said further questioning was necessary to uncover the motive, identify and arrest other suspects, establish the murder location and recover evidence. They also sought to compare Disha’s statements with information provided by Dip.
