DHAKA, April 25, 2021 (BSS) – A Dhaka court today placed Hefajat-e-Islam nayeb-e-ameer Ahmed Abdul Qader on five-day remand in a case lodged over the group’s 2013 mayhem in and around capital’s Paltan area.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Mohammad Jasim passed the order as police produced the accused before the court and pleaded to place him on 10-day remand in the case lodged with the capital’s Paltan Police Station.
Police on April 24 arrested Qader from the capital’s Agargaon area.
Hefajat-e-Islam laid seize on capital’s Shapla Chattar area on May 5, 2013, unleashing inexpressible atrocities in and around the capital.
They vandalized hundreds of vehicles, shops and offices, setting many of those on fire. They even cut down hundreds of trees grown on the road dividers and used those as barricades to obstruct the law enforcing agencies.
A couple of cases were filed over those incidents with different police stations.
