A Dhaka court on Thursday placed actor Ashraful Haque Don on a five-day remand in a case lodged over the murder of popular movie superstar Chowdhury Mohammad Shahriar (Emon), popularly known as Salman Shah.

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Md Jewel Rana passed the order, said public prosecutor Omar Faruq Faruqi.

Earlier on 20 August, the CID Inspector Mojibur Rahman, also the investigation officer of the case, filed the plea seeking seven-day remand for actor Don in the case.

Don was arrested by immigration police on 9 August at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport and was later handed over to the CID. He was subsequently sent to jail.

The other accused are: Aziz Mohammad Bhai, Samira’s mother Latifa Haque Lusi, David, Zaved, Faruk, Ruby, A Sattar, Saju and Rijvi Ahmed Farhad.

Earlier on 20 October 2025, Dhaka’s sixth Additional Metropolitan Sessions Judge Md Jannatul Ferdous Ibn Haque ordered the officer-in-charge (OC) of Ramna Police Station to treat the case filed over the death of Salman Shah, as a murder case and submit a report in this regard.

The court, in its order, said that the unnatural death case was hereby cancelled and revoked by order passed on 31 October 2021.

Salman Shah’s maternal uncle, Mohammad Alamgir, popularly known as Alamgir Kumkum filed the case on 21 October 2025 against 11 people, including Salman’s wife Samira Haque, with the capital’s Ramna Police Station under sections 302 and 34 of the Penal Code.
