Maulana Mamunul Haque, former joint secretary general of Hefazat-e-Islam, has been released from jail.
Mamunul walked out of Kashimpur High Security Central Jail in Gazipur at around 10:30am on Friday, Senior Jail Superintendent Subrata Kumar Bala said.
Subrata mentioned a gathering of Mamunul Haque's supporters and Hefazat activists at the jail gate, ready to welcome him.
Police arrested Mamunul at a madrasa in Mohammadpur, Dhaka, on April 18, 2021.
Initially slated for Thursday night, Mamunul's release was postponed due to security concerns, as disclosed by a source familiar with the matter.
According to an Islamic scholar close to Mamunul, the latter is accused in 41 cases filed with different police stations.
