Hefajat Leader Korban Remanded Paltan Mayhem Case

A Dhaka court placed Hefajat-e-Islam Dhaka city unit vice-president Mawlana Korban Ali on a seven-day remand in a case lodged over the mayhem in the capital’s Paltan area in 2013.

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Mamunur Rashid passed the order as police produced Korban, also a joint secretary general of Bangladesh Khilafat Majlish, before the court and pleaded to place him on a 10-day remand.

Police arrested Korban Ali from the capital’s Basabo area at around 5.30 pm on April 20.

Hefajat-e-Islam laid seize on capital’s Shapla Chattar area on May 5, 2013, unleashing inexpressible atrocities in and around the capital.

They vandalized hundreds of vehicles, shops, and offices, setting many of those on fire. They even cut down hundreds of trees grown on the road dividers and used those as barricades to obstruct the law-enforcing agencies.
