A metropolitan magistrate court in Dhaka on Monday placed Hefazat-e-Islam Bangladesh joint secretary general Mamunul Haque on a seven-day remand in a case filed with the Mohammadpur police station over sabotage activities.
Dhaka metropolitan magistrate Debdas Chandra Adhikari passed the order.
The police on Sunday arrested Mamunul Haque at a madrassah at Mohammadpur as the law enforcers have continued detaining Hefazat leaders after the violence and protests against the visit of Indian prime minister Narendra Modi to Bangladesh in March.
Mamunul, 47, was arrested at Jamia Rahmaniya Arabia Madrassah by a police team, led by Tejgaon police deputy commissioner Harun Or Rashid at about 12:45pm without any obstruction.
Harun said that Mamunul was arrested in a case filed with the Mohammadpur police station in March 2020 over violence.
Apart from the case, Mamunul has already been named in many other cases filed with the Paltan police station and other places over the recent violence and he would be shown arrested in the cases, said Harun.
