A court has granted a three-day remand for Wakil Hossain alias Boga in a case filed over killing Hridoy in Pahartali Wireless Colony area under Khulshi Police Station in Chattogram city.
Chattogram Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Mahidul Islam passed the order after a hearing on Tuesday afternoon. Boga was brought before the court under tight security.
The investigation officer had sought a 10-day remand. After a hearing, the court granted a three-day remand at around 12:45pm.
Hridoy was hacked to death on the night of 29 September. The murder reportedly stemmed from a dispute between two teenage gangs, named “Seven Star” and “Five Star”, over seniority and junior membership, as well as a conflict involving TikTok videos.
According to the allegations, during the dispute, Hridoy was called out of his home and hacked to death with sharp weapons.
Following the killing, the victim’s family filed a case with Khulshi Police Station against a total of 32 people, including Boga and 19 other named accused.
On 29 October, he was shown arrested in connection with the case while already in custody in another case.
