Shammo murder: 3 sent to jail 

A Dhaka court has sent three persons to jail in a case filed over the killing of Shahriar Alam Shammo, a Dhaka University student and a leader of the Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal.

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Jamshed Alam passed the order when the police produced the trio – Md Tamim Hawlader, 30, Palash Sardar, 30, and Samrat Mallik, 28 – before the court on Wednesday.

Shahbagh police station Sub-Inspector Toufiq Hasan, also the investigating officer of the case, submitted a petition seeking the court’s order to send the individuals to jail, while there was no defence counsel to argue for the accused.

After a hearing, the court ordered the authorities concerned to send them to jail.

The police arrested the individuals conducting drives at places in the capital early Wednesday.
