Huji leader Sumon on 5-day remand
The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) yesterday took Harkatul Jihad (Huji) leader Arif Hasan Sumon to its custody from jail three days after a Dhaka court placed him on a five-day remand in connection with the bomb blast on a CBP rally on July 20 in 2001.
Earlier, CID inspector Delwar Hossain, also the investigation officer (IO) of the case, has shown Suman arrested in the case on May 6 and prayed for a 10-day remand before a Dhaka court on May 8. The court granted him a five days' remand.
Delwar said, “We just have started quizzing him in the case.”
CID sources said Suman was involved in the blast at the CBP rally, killing seven people and injuring several others.
Huji leader Suman has already given judicial statement to a magistrate in grenade attacks on an Awami League rally on August 21 in 2004 and bomb attacks on Pahela Baishakh celebration on April 14, 2001 at Ramna Batamul.
Earlier, Huji boss Mufti Hannan, his brother Mohibullah alias Mafizur Rahman, Huji leader Sharif Shahidul Alam alias Bipul and several other Huji leaders were also shown arrested in the CBP rally blast case.
Earlier, CID submitted the final report in the case on December 17, 2003. But reinvestigation found the Huji involvement.
