A Dhaka court on Thursday placed six individuals on four-day remand each in a case filed over the killing of teenage gang leader Emon, also known as Alex Emon, in the Mohammadpur area of the capital.
The accused are Sayed Hossain Shimul alias Aiub, 26; Md Tuhin Biswas, 24; Md Rabbi Kazi, 25; Md Rana, 40; Md Sumon, 26; and Md Russel alias Picchi Russel, 25.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Monirul Islam passed the order after police produced the accused before the court and sought a seven-day remand for interrogation.
The remand information was confirmed by Sub-Inspector Mizanur Rahman of the Dhaka Metropolitan Prosecution Department.
Earlier on Tuesday, the investigating officer of the case, Sub-Inspector Sadhan Kumar Mondal of Mohammadpur Police Station, produced the accused before the court and sought a seven-day remand for each.
According to the case statement, Emon, also known as Alex Emon, the ringleader of the Alex Emon group, was hacked to death in a clash between two teenage gangs in Mohammadpur. The incident occurred around 4:30pm on Sunday on the slope of the Rayer Bazar Budhhijibi Embankment road under Mohammadpur Police Station.
Assistant Police Commissioner (AC) of DMP’s Mohammadpur Zone, Abdullah Al Mamun, said Emon, the ringleader of the Alex Emon group, was killed in the clash between the two teenage gangs. His body is at the morgue of Shaheed Suhrawardy Medical College Hospital.
He said three people were arrested immediately from the scene. Three machetes, one cutter, and one steel plate were recovered from them.
Local sources said there had been a long-standing rivalry between the Alex Emon group and the Arman-Shahrukh group over dominance in the Rayer Bazar area of Mohammadpur. As a result, a clash broke out between members of the two groups.
During the clash, Emon, also known as Alex Emon, the ringleader of the Alex Emon group, was seriously injured by sharp weapons from the rival group. He was later rescued and taken to Shaheed Suhrawardy Hospital, where doctors declared him dead.
It is to be noted that the deceased Alex Emon had 18 outstanding cases filed against him at the time of his death.
