A Dhaka court placed Monir Khan alias Dorji Monir, president of so called ‘Bangladesh Jananetri Sheikh Hasina Parishad’, on a 4-day remand on Wednesday.

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Dhiman Chandra Mandal passed the order as police produced Dorji Monir before the court and pleaded to place them on a 10-day remand in the case of extortion and fraud.

Earlier on Tuesday, a man named Ismail Hossain, filed a case with Kamrangirchar police station on charges of extortion and fraud.

Monir formed the so-called organisation titled 'Bangladesh Jananetri Sheikh Hasina Parishad' by defaming Awami League.

Besides, there are also allegations against him for manipulating Photoshop and posting altered pictures of himself with important people of the government including the Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Facebook.
