Dhaka: A court in Dhaka on Sunday granted police three days to interrogate Tahrim Quaderi alias Russel, 14, son of ‘militant’ Tanvir Quaderi whose body was recovered during Azimpur raid, in a case filed under the Anti-Terrorism Act.

Dhaka Juvenile Court and First Additional Metropolitan Session Judge Ruhul Amin passed the order following a petition filed by Ahsanul Haque, assistant police commissioner of Counter Terrorism and Transnational Crime (CTTC) unit of Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) for questioning Tahrim for 10 days.

Delwar Hossain, sub-inspector of CTTC unit of DMP, filed the case against several suspected militants, including the detained three women, with Lalbagh Police Station on 11 September.

Five CTTC members were injured when the specialized counter terrorism unit carried out a drive at a flat of a multi-storied building at Lalbagh Road, near Pilkhana Gate 2 on 10 September.

The law enforcers arrested the three alleged female militants—Khadiza, Sharmin, and Shaheda Afrin—from the spot on charge of assault on police. Police also recovered the body of ‘militant’ Tanvir Quaderi and rescued three children, including 14-year-old boy Russel, from the spot.
