A court in Bogura sent Saad bin Azizur Rahman to prison in a case of murdering his mother Umme Salma after his three-day remand ended today (November 16).

Senior Magistrate Mehedi Hasan of the Dupachaia Magistrates’ Court passed the order, court inspector Mosaddek Hossain told The Business Standard.

“No one has applied for bail today on Saad’s behalf,” he added.

Nazmul Islam, the investigating officer in the case, said, “The bail application may not have been possible due to the delay in his being sent to court.”

Earlier on November 11, the Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) arrested Saad on charges of killing his mother. Later, he was remanded in custody for three days.

Meanwhile, RAB issued a statement on November 12 in which the elite force claimed that Salma’s own son Saad killed her and confessed to the killing.

Police said yesterday that 50-year-old Salma was killed by one of her tenants in her house in Dupachachia upazila of Bogura on November 10, contradicting the RAB statement.

Police said Mabia Begum, a tenant at Salma’s house, killed her with the help of two of her cohorts.

The three new suspects, who were arrested last Thursday, gave confessional statements at the Dupachaia Court of Conscience about Salma’s murder, Faridpur police spokesperson Additional Superintendent Suman Ranjan Sarker told The Business Standard.

However, the RAB today reiterated its claim about the son’s involvement in his mother’s murder, saying the information was shared based on his confession after detention.
