A Chattogram court has granted a three-day remand for Osman Ali Segun and his nephew, Md Alvin, in connection with the murder of Ali Akbar, widely known as 'Dhakaiya Akbar', in the city's Patenga area. 

The order was issued today (1 June), by Chattogram's 5th Metropolitan Magistrate Nusrat Jahan Zinia following a hearing.

Osman Ali is the brother of fugitive top-tier criminal Sajjad Ali Khan, infamously known as 'Boro Sajjad'. His nephew Alvin is also believed to be involved in criminal activities. Both were arrested last Monday night (26 May) in separate drives conducted by RAB-7 and Patenga police.

According to court sources, the two accused were brought to court under tight security around 10am. They were presented before the magistrate for the remand hearing around 12:45pm. After the proceedings, they were returned to jail under police escort.

Mohammad Rahmat, general recording officer (GRO) of the Patenga police station court, confirmed that the investigating officer sought five days of remand for each suspect. After hearing the arguments, the court approved three days of remand for both.

The murder occurred on the night of 23 May, around 8:30pm, when unidentified assailants opened fire on Ali Akbar as he was socialising in front of shop number 28 near the western point of the Patenga Sea Beach. 

Two bystanders, 30-year-old visitor Jannatul Baki and 8-year-old child Mahim Islam Ratul, were also injured in the shooting.

Akbar succumbed to his injuries two days later, on the morning of 25 May, while undergoing treatment at Chattogram Medical College Hospital (CMCH). Later that day, his wife Rupali Begum filed a murder case at Patenga police station, naming 11 individuals.
Ali Akbar himself had a long criminal record, with at least 10 cases filed against him in different city police stations, including charges of murder, arms possession, and extortion.
