A court here today showed Awami League (AL) organizing secretary and former lawmaker Ahmed Hossain arrested in a case lodged over murder of a teenager named Abdul Motalib in the capital's Dhanmandi area.

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Mohammad Nurul Huda passed the order as the police produced Hossain before the court and the prosecution pleaded to show him arrested in the case.

Ahmad Hossain was arrested from the capital's Banashree area on August 20 and was placed on a four-day remand in Nobin Talukder murder case the next day. 
He was placed on different terms of remand in other cases after that.

According to the case documents, Motalib, 14, got shot on his chest and throat on August 4 as he joined a anti-discrimination rally in Dhanmandi area. He was rushed to the hospital, where the attending doctors declared him dead. 

Motalib's father Abdul Matin filed the case on August 26 against 176 including ousted prime minister Sheikh Hasina.
