Dhaka: A court in Dhaka on Wednesday sent journalist Shafik Rehman, arrested in connection with a case filed over an alleged plot to abduct and kill Prime Minister's son Sajeeb Wazed Joy, to jail on completion of his second remand.

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate SM Masud Zaman passed the order when police produced him before the court after his second five-day remand, reports UNB.

Besides, the court directed the jail authorities to take necessary steps about division facilities in jail and his treatment at BIRDEM and Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) following separate petitions submitted by Shafik’s counsel Sanaullah Miah.

Meanwhile, the court allowed four lawyers and Shafik’s wife Taleya Rehman to meet him for 15 minutes when his lawyer submitted a petition before the court.

Earlier, a court on Friday put journalist Shafik Rehman on a fresh five-day remand for further interrogation in the case.

On 16 April, detectives arrested Shafik Rehman, former editor of the Bangla daily Jaijaidin from his Eskaton Garden residence in the city.

Shafik Rehman, in his early 80s, was shown arrested in a criminal conspiracy case filed with Paltan Police Station on 3 August 2015 in connection with attempting to abduct and kill Joy.

He was later put on a five-day remand.
