Sheikh Shahjahan's brother Sheikh Alamgir who was arrested by the CBI for alleged involvement in orchestrating the January 5 attack on officials of the Enforcement Directorate, have been sent to five days' custody of the central agency, his advocate said on Sunday.

"....14 days of police custody was asked (for Sheikh Alamgir), but after the hearing, the court has allowed 5 days of CBI custody," Raja Bhaumik, Alamgir's advocate said.

The CBI on Saturday arrested Sheikh Alamgir, brother of recently arrested Sandehskhali strongman Sheikh Shahjahan, and two others for allegedly spearheading an attack on the visiting ED team on January 5.

The arrested individuals were identified as Didar Baksh Molla, Faruk Akunji and Jiaudddin Molla (Panchayat Pradhan of Sarberia Panchayat).

These arrests come as a crucial advancement in the case, shedding light on the intricate web surrounding the incident. (ANI)
