Child orator Rafiqul put on 4-day remand

A Dhaka court has placed child orator Rafiqul Isam Madani on a four-day remand in a case filed over protest during the visit of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Dhaka on the occasion of the Golden Jubilee of Independence.

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Abu Sufian passed the order on Wednesday.

Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) on April 7 arrested him from Netrakona on charge of delivering ‘anti state’ and ‘provocative’ statement.

The 26-year-old Madani is known as ‘Shishu Bakta’ due to his small body size.

Madadi was arrested earlier on March 25 from Motijheel area during a demonstration protesting the visit of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the occasion of the Golden Jubilee of Independence and later he was freed.
