City Jamaat chief on 3-day remand
A Dhaka court placed Dhaka city unit Jamaat-e-Islami chief Rafiqul Islam Khan on a three-day remand yesterday in a case filed for torching a private car on June 26 that killed one of its passengers.
Third Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Mohammad Ali Hussain passed the order after Detective Branch (DB) of police produced Rafiqul before it with a seven-day remand prayer.
Rafiqul was also shown arrested in another case filed with Uttara police station for making seditious statement.
DB police arrested Rafiqul from his residence on Wednesday and took him to the DB office for interrogation in the case filed with Ramna police station.
Earlier on August 23, Rafiqul Islam got anticipatory bails in six cases on charges of obstructing police in discharging their duties and hurting religious sentiment of Muslims.
In the yesterday's forwarding report, DB Inspector Mohammad Ziauzzaman, also the investigation officer (IO), said Rafiqul Islam made provocative statements while being present at the Jubo Dal, Jatiyatadabadi Chhatra Dal and Chhatra Shibir's processions during the hartal hours on June 27.
Moreover, instructed by Rafiqul on the day before hartal on June 26, the unruly activists of the BNP and Jamaat torched the private car and one of its passengers Mohammad Faruque Hossain succumbed to his injuries on July 1. So he needs to be remanded to know about the clues to the incidents, the IO said.
In the same case, Jamaat Ameer Motiur Rahman Nizami, its Secretary General Ali Ahsan Muhammad Mojahid, Nayeb-e-Ameer Delwar Hossain Sayedee, BNP leaders Shamser Mobin Chowdhury and Mirza Abbas were shown arrested and they were remanded.
