DHAKA, April 26, 2021 (BSS) – A Dhaka court today placed two former central joint secretary generals of Hefajat-e-Islam– Mamunul Haque and Junayed Al Habib– on total seven-day remand in two cases lodged over the group’s mayhem in the capital in May, 2013 and March, 2021.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Sadbir Yasir Ahsan Chowdhury passed the order, placing the duo on four-day remand in the case filed with Paltan Police Station in connection with Hefajat’s anarchy in Baitul Mukarram area in March, 2021.
The court also placed Mamunul and Habib on three-day remand each in the case lodged with the capital’s Motijheel Police Station over Hefajat mayhem in May, 2013.
Earlier, the police produced the accused before the court and pleaded to place them on a total 20-day remand in the two cases.
On April 19, Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Devdas Chandra Adhikari had placed Mamunul, also the former general secretary of Hefajat-e-Islam Dhaka city unit, on seven-day remand in a 2020 case lodged over carrying out vandalism.
Police arrested Mamunul on April 18 from Mohammadpur Jamiya Rahmaniya Arabia Madrasa.
Hefajat-e-Islam laid seize on the 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.
