A Dhaka court today directed the deputy inspector general of Police Bureau of Investigation (PBI) to conduct investigation into the two cases filed against Hefajat-e-Islam Ameer Junayed Babunagari and two others for their "disparaging" comments on sculptures.
The court of Metropolitan Magistrate Sotyabrata Sikder also directed the DIG of PBI to submit the investigation report before it within January 7, 2021.
The two other accused are Md Mamunul Haque, joint secretary general of Hefajat and Syed Muhammad Faizul Karim, senior Naib-e-Ameer of Islami Andolan Bangladesh.
Aminul Islam Bulbul, president of Muktijuddho Moncho's central committee, filed a case against the trio with the court this morning.
Advocate Moshiur Malek, founder of Bangabandhu Foundation, also filed a case against Mamunul Haque with the same court over the same allegation.
The plaintiffs said all the statements made by Babunagari, Mamunul and Faizul Karim are tantamount to sedition and go against the state.
They also appealed to the court to issue arrest warrant against the trio for their alleged involvement with "tarnishing the image of the government and creating anarchy" across the country.
