Dhaka, April 19 : A Dhaka court on Monday placed radical outfit Hefazat-e-Islam s joint secretary general Mamunul Haque on seven-day remand in a case filed last year at the Mohammadpur police station.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate, Debdash Chandra Adhikary, passed the order after the sub-inspector of the police station, Md Sajedul Haque, submitted the remand prayer before the court.
The police said the militant top leader and the preacher will be interrogated at the DB office on security grounds and for the source of his huge expenses.
Irked by Hefajat s violent activities starting with the protest against Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi s visit last month, the government has decided to bring to book everyone involved in the mayhem in different parts of the country, especially Brahmanbaria.
To ensure punishment of the perpetrators and to properly collect evidence of the Hefajat-e-Islam s mayhem at different times including at the capital s Shapla Chattar in May 2013, law enforcers on Sunday handed over the charge of investigation of over 23 cases to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID).
Meanwhile, in an apparent bid to come to an understanding about the recent arrest of several of its top leaders, a delegation of Hefajat held a meeting with Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal at the latter s residence in the capital last night.
