The DB also sought a seven-day remand to interrogate them, and the court set March 30 for hearing on the remand prayer, he added.

Jahirul said three accused were found involved in the attack on The Daily Star office during the investigation, so he applied to the court to show them arrested in the case.

Earlier, the court fixed April 26 for submission of the probe report after the DB failed to submit the report despite two previous deadlines.

The Daily Star filed the case on December 22 last year with Tejgaon Police Station against 350–400 unidentified people under the Penal Code, the Anti-Terrorism Act, the Special Powers Act, and the Cyber Security Ordinance, over the attack on its head office in Dhaka’s Tejgaon area.

According to the case statement, the estimated loss from the attack stands at around Tk 40 crore, subject to revision following further assessment.
