She will be taken to Kashimpur Jail.

Two cases were filed against Momtaz with Singair and Harirampur Police Stations.

On 22 May, the court put her on a four-day remand in a murder case filed with Singair Police Station.

Later, in connection with another case filed with Harirampur Police Station, Judge Ivy Akter of the Manikganj Senior Judicial Magistrate Court placed her on a two-day remand on the same day.

According to court sources, the murder case relates to a procession in support of a hartal in Gobindal, Singair upazila, back in 2013 when four people were killed.

Md Majnu Molla, a resident of Gobindal village, filed the case against her on 25 October 2024.

Besides, Delwar Hossain, organising secretary of the BNP's Harirampur upazila unit, filed another case on 30 October last year accusing Momtaz of involvement in attack and vandalism at Harirampur Police Station.
