Judge of the senior judicial magistrate court Helal Uddin passed the order.

Members of RAB and police took Teknaf OC Pradip Kumar Das, the number 2 accused in the case, to Cox’s Bazar court this morning from his Chattogram residence where he was staying on leave showing the
cause of illness. Six others accused were taken to the court in the afternoon.
