A Dhaka court today ordered the imprisonment of former law minister Anisul Huq and former adviser to Sheikh Hasina, Salman F Rahman, in connection with the murder of Sajedur Rahman Omar during the July mass uprising. Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Mehedi Hasan issued the arrest order after police produced them before the court following their two-day remand in the case. The court was requested to keep them in custody until the investigation is complete. Previously, on July 23, Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Mahbub Alam had granted a two-day remand for both Anisul and Salman in connection with the case. According to case documents, Sajedur Rahman Omar participated in a rally against discrimination near Kajla Bridge in Jatrabari on July 21 of last year.

Anisul Huq and Salman F Rahman were arrested in the Sadarghat area of the capital on August 13, 2024, as they attempted to flee via waterways.
