e-mail Threat
Maruf on 3-day remand
A Dhaka court yesterday placed Maruf Raihan arrested on charge of sending e-mail to the information and communication technology ministry, threatening to blow up important installations of the country and to attack police, on a three-day remand for interrogation.
Metropolitan Magistrate Mohammad Ismail Hossain passed the order after detective branch (DB) of police produced Maruf before it with a ten-day remand prayer.
Maruf was accused of threatening to blow up important installations of the country and to attack police unless the four top Jamaat leaders are released before the upcoming Eid-ul-Fitr.
In the forwarding report, DB Sub-Inspector Farid Uzzaman, also investigation officer of the case, said Maruf had committed a heinous offence for sending the e-mail threat. So, he needs to be remanded to know about the cause behind the threat and whereabouts of his accomplices responsible for committing such offences, Farid said.
Detectives arrested Maruf, a civil engineer and a manpower broker, at Natun Babupara in Saidpur upazila of Nilphamari district on Tuesday.
Maruf sent the e-mail on August 25 in the guise of a Jamaat Sura member to the ministry using his client Mohammad Monir's e-mail address.
Maruf sent the e-mail threatening to blow up the KPIs and to make attack on police and the ministry officials in a bid to implicate Monir in a legal tangle so that Monir cannot realise the money paid to him [Maruf] for sending Monir to Dubai in 2007, DB police said.
