Law enforcement authorities have formally sought a seven-day remand for former MP Gazi Nazrul Islam and his first wife, Maksuda Begum, to interrogate them thoroughly regarding the death of 19-year-old Mariyam. Mariyam's father, S.M. Masum Billah, lodged a case at Sher-e-Bangla Nagar Police Station accusing the duo of abetment to suicide after Mariyam's body was recovered hanging from the ceiling of a NAM building apartment. Authorities stated that custodial interrogation is vital to piece together the sequence of events leading up to the tragic incident and to ascertain the exact roles played by the suspects.
