Judge Ruhul Amin passed the order after Investigation Officer Ahasanul Haque, assistant commissioner of the Counter-Terrorism and Transnational Crime unit, produced him before it seeking 10 days to interrogate Rasel, 14, a level VIII student of Mastermind School at Dhanmondi.
Rasel was arrested along with his mother and two other women – all linked to the militant group, and two children after the raid on September 10. His father Tanvir Qadri alias Abdul Karim alias Jamshed committed suicide to evade arrest, according to CT unit officials.
Rasel’s mother Abedatul Fatema alias Khadiza, 35, injured during the raid, is now undergoing treatment. His twin brother has joined armed jihad, police say.
According to the remand petition, Rasel closed the door of the flat and attacked the law enforcers with a knife when they entered the house. So he needs to be remanded to learn about the other members of the group and their activities.
CT unit Sub-Inspector Delwar Hossain filed the case with Lalbagh police against Karim, the three women and Rasel. The two other women are Afrin alias Priyoti, 25, wife of Gulshan attack coordinator Nurul Islam alias Shakil alias Marjan; and Shaila Afrin, 23, wife of absconding militant leader Jaman alias Basharuzzaman.
