A Dhaka court has ordered placing Khadija Yasmin, daughter of criminal Subrata Bain, on a five-day remand connection with the murder of Jubo Dal leader Arif Sikder seven months ago in Hatirjheel area.
Metropolitan Magistrate Sarah Farzana Haque issued the order today (18 December) following a hearing in a case filed with Hatirjheel Police Station.
Earlier, on 16 December, the investigation officer of the case, Detective Branch (DB) Inspector Md Mazharul Islam, brought the accused to the court and sought a seven-day remand. However, as the original case records were unavailable that day, the court sent Khadija to jail and scheduled today for a hearing.

The remand application stated that Subrata Bain, also known as Fateh Ali, and his daughter Khadija had begun asserting control over the Moghbazar and Hatirjheel areas. Following 5 August 2024, they allegedly considered Arif Sikder as a political opponent.
The application claimed that Arif's murder was planned and instigated directly by Subrata Bain and Khadija.
Investigators said Khadija's involvement is being probed, and a seven-day remand is required for a fair investigation.
According to the complaint, on the night of 19 April, Jubo Dal leader Arif Sikder was shot in front of The Jhil Cafe in Nayatola Morol Goli under Hatirjheel Police Station. He was admitted to Dhaka Medical College Hospital and died on 21 April during treatment. Arif was the former assistant-sports secretary of Jubo Dal's Ward-36 of Dhaka North unit.
Rima Akhter, Arif's sister, initially filed an attempted murder case against 10 individuals, including Subrata Bain's associate Mahfuzur Rahman Bipu. After Arif's death, the case was upgraded to a murder case.
Subrata Bain is currently in jail following his arrest. He was transferred from Narayanganj District Jail to Cumilla Central Jail on 5 December.
