Defense lawyer Mehedi Hasan Merin opposed the remand plea and sought bail for the accused. After the hearing, the judge rejected both applications and ordered a one-day jail gate interrogation.
Previously, on 18 September, Zubair Hossain was arrested from the Indian border.
According to the case statement, during the July Uprising on 5 August last year, Shoaib Shahriar Sivan, 24, joined the protests in the Ray Saheb Bazar area under Kotwali Police Station. Around 1:30pm that day, he sustained serious injuries after the accused allegedly opened fire.
Later, Sivan received treatment at a hospital. Following the incident, his fellow protester, Irfan Ahmed, filed an attempted murder case at Kotwali Police Station.
