The Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit (BFIU) of the government has sought the bank account details of 24 leaders of different organisations, including Hefazat-e-Islam and 30 madrasas. The BFIU issued the notice on March 31, asking the banks to send the information within five working days. The move came right after the recent conflicts between Hefazat men, ruling party activists and law enforcers that killed 16 pro-Hefazat men. Hefazat had been protesting the visit of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, for his anti-Muslim stance, during Bangladesh's Golden Jubilee celebration. Hefazat later observed a countrywide hartal protesting the deaths.
