Possessing LSD: 3 students placed on 5-day remand

A Dhaka court placed three university students on a five-day remand today in a case filed for possessing Lysergic Acid Diethylamide (LSD).

They are Sadman Sakib Rupol and Ashraf Wadud Turjo, students of North South University, and Adib Ahsan, a student of Independent University Bangladesh.

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Baki Billah passed the order after Investigation Officer Salah Uddin Kader, also a sub-inspector of Detective Branch (DB) of police, produced the three before the court with a seven-day remand prayer, court sources said.

Law enforcers arrested the three from the capital's Dhanmondi and Lalmatia area on May 26 with 200 pieces of LSD blot paper.

On May 27, DB Inspector Mahbub Alam filed the case against Rupol, Turjo, and Adib with Dhanmondi Police Station under the Narcotics Control Act.

DB found the LSD during their probe into the death of Dhaka University student Hafizur Rahman, who slit his own throat after taking LSD on the campus on May 15, his friends told detectives during interrogation.
