Mamunul has links with militants
Police have found information about Hefajat-e Islam's former joint secretary general Mamunul Haque's involvement in local and external militant organisations.
Apart from that, there was truth in the rape allegations brought against him, said Zayedul Alam, superintendent of Narayanganj police.
Hefajat unleashed violence in late March with the aim to assume state power, the police officer claimed at a press conference at his office in the city's Chanmari area.
The SP convened the press conference to share information that were found after interrogating Mamunul during his 18-day remand in six cases filed in connection with rape and violence.
"We have got primary information of his [Mamunul] involvement in local and external militant organizations. We will share details later after scrutiny," said Zayedul.
"Initially, we have found evidence that he raped the victim promising her to marry her," he said.
Asked about the March violence, the police officer said, "He [Mamunul] has told us the names of those, who were present during the violence and who provoked the violence… we hope to bring all of them to book."
