During the Liberation War, martyred DIG Mamun Mahmud of Rajshahi police had served as a brave leader and a true patriot. Ever since Bangabandhu’s March 7 speech, he started training almost 10,000 volunteers.
Detectives claimed to have identified at least 313 donors, who used to finance Hefajat-e Islam that carried out violence across the country late last month protesting Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi s visit to Bangladesh.
Confirming the development, AKM Hafiz Akhter, additional commissioner of Detective Branch (DB) of police, said, We have so far identified 313 people who provided funds to Hefajat.
According to investigators, a large number of them are expatriate Bangladeshis and some of them are top BNP leaders.
Meanwhile, police sources said Mamunul Haque, who is now on remand, told that Hefajat wanted to turn Bangladesh into a country like Pakistan or Afghanistan through transforming the organisation into militant group Tehrik-e-Labbaik Pakistan.
Additional police were deployed in the area to avoid further clashes, he added.
Citing locals, the police official said, Momin Munshi, another sibling of chairman Hanif, locked into an altercation with a local UP member Saddam Miah near Charchartala Eidgah ground around 11:30pm on Friday.
On information, Hanif rushed to the spot and settled the issue.
However, in the aftermath of the incident, Saddam s supporters stormed Hanif s house around 1:00am yesterday with local weapons like harpoon.
At one point, Jamal and a few other people of their group tried to obstruct their opponents but were seriously injured.
Jamal died on the way to hospital, the OC said.
