C T Online Desk: A court in Chattogram on Wednesday placed 12 accused on six-day remands each in connection with two cases filed over attacking police and obstructing their duties.

Chattogram’s Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Sarker Hasan Shahriar passed the order around 10:30am after police sought remand for the accused.

The 12 suspects are Joy Nath, Rumit Das, Nayan Das, Gagan Das, Sumit Das, Aman Das, Bishal Das, Sonu Methor, Suman Das, Rajesh Das, Durlav Das, and Ajay Sutradhar Chowdhury.

Mofizur Uddin, additional deputy commissioner of Chattogram Metropolitan Police (CMP), said that Kotwali police sought remand for seven days each for the 12 suspects in two cases.

The two cases were filed with Kotwali Police Station over attacking police and obstructing police in discharging duties during the clashes that broke out after the bail rejection of former ISKCON leader Chinmoy Krishna Das Brahmachari on 26 November.

The 12 suspects were produced before the court amid tight security in the morning.

Earlier, on Monday, a local court granted a seven-day remand each for eight other accused in another case for attacking the police.
