Dipu Moni on 4-day remand in murder case

A Dhaka court on Monday placed former minister Dr Dipu Moni on a four-day remand in a case over the killing of Jhut (garment-factory scrap) trader Md Monir during the July mass uprising.

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Mehedi Hasan passed the order after the police produced Dipu Moni before the court and requested a 10-day remand in the case. The court later sent the former minister back to jail.

According to case documents, Monir joined a mass uprising rally in the city's Chankharpul area on August 5, 2024. He was shot and died on the spot around noon that day. Monir's widow, Rojina Akter, filed the case on March 14, 2025, with Shahbagh Police Station against 351 and 500 unnamed individuals.

Former Social Welfare Minister Dr Dipu Moni was arrested on August 19, 2024, and has been shown arrested in different cases related to crimes committed during the July–August mass uprising.
