A court in Dhaka placed DNCC ward councilor Tarekuzzaman Rajib on 14-day remand in two cases lodged under narcotics and arms acts.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Begum Yasmin Ara placed the Rajib on seven-day remand each in the cases late on Sunday (Oct 21) night.
Earlier the police produced the councillor of ward-33 of Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC) before court just before midnight and pleaded to place him on total 20-day remand in the two cases.
Members of Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) arrested Rajib from a flat in Basundhara Residential Area on Oct 19.
The elite crime busting agency seized seven bottles of foreign liquor, a foreign-made pistol, a magazine with three bullets, Tk 33,000 in cash and a passport from that flat.
RAB later searched his Mohammadpur house and office but could not trace anything except a cheque of Tk 50 million.
On Oct 20, RAB handed Rajib over to Bhatara Police Station, filing two cases against him.
