OUR CORRESPONDENT, Netrokona

A Netrokona court yesterday ordered a DNA test in the widely-discussed rape case in Madan upazila, where a child became pregnant.

The order was issued after police submitted an application seeking the test, said Netrokona Court Inspector Mohammad Riyad Mahmud.

Earlier in the day, police produced accused Amanullah Mahmudi Sagar before the court after the end of his remand period. The court later ordered that he be sent to prison, Riyad said. He added Amanullah did not make any confessional statement during remand.
