Three Hefajat leaders were placed on remand, on different terms, today in three cases filed with Paltan and Motijheel police stations over the 2013 mayhem and the recent violence in Dhaka.

The leaders are Azizul Haque Islamabadi, organising secretary of Hefajat's now-dissolved committee; Maulana Jubair Ahmed, former vice-president of its Dhaka City unit, and Maulana Jalaluddin Ahmed, former assistant general secretary.

Azizul was placed on a seven-day remand in two cases filed with Paltan Police Station over March 26 violence centring the visit of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while Jubair was placed on a six-day remand in two cases filed with Paltan and Motijheel police stations over the 2013 mayhem and the recent violence in Dhaka.

Jalal was placed on a three-day remand in one of the cases filed with Paltan Police Station over the recent violence in Dhaka.

Metropolitan Magistrate Masud-Ur-Rahman passed the remand orders after three investigators produced the three accused before his court with 24-day remand prayers for them in three cases.

Defence for the three, however, submitted separate petitions seeking bail along with the cancellation of their remand prayers in the cases.

Upon hearing both sides, the magistrate turned down the defence pleas and placed the accused on remand on different terms.

All the three were produced before the court on completion of their different terms of remand in three cases filed with Motijheel and Paltan police stations over the 2013 mayhem in Dhaka.

Meantime, Azizul was shown arrested today in six more cases filed with Paltan Police Station over the 2013 mayhem in Dhaka.
