Baruipur (WB), May 27 (PTI) A local court here rejected Trinamool Congress leader Arabul Islam's bail prayer today and remanded him to judicial custody for 12 days till June 8.

Islam, a district-level leader of the TMC and a former MLA, was arrested in the early hours of May 12 on the orders of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.

He was charged with murder in connection with the killing of a supporter of an independent candidate of the recently-concluded Panchayat polls in West Bengal.

On the same day, Islam was produced before the Baruipur Sub-Divisional Judicial Magistrate's court and he was remanded to police custody for 10 days till May 22.

But the police could not produce Islam on May 22, since the arrested TMC leader was unwell and was admitted to a state-run hospital.

He was produced before the SDJM's court at Baruipur today.

The court rejected his bail prayer and remanded him to Judicial Custody for 12 days till June 8.
