Koko was taken to the court under tight security and was produced before the court of Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Dhaka, after being kept in custody only for three days.
He was put on the seven-day remand on Monday after his arrest for interrogation in the graft case against a prayer for a ten-day remand. Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) Deputy Director Zahirul Huda, also the investigation officer (IO) of the case, mentioned that there is a necessity to verify the information obtained from Koko. If necessary, he might be remanded again for quizzing in future subject to the development of the investigation.
