Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Devdas Chandra Adhikari issued the remand order on Monday after his court appearance. SI Sajedul Haque of Mohammadpur Police Station produced Mamunul in court, seeking a remand order.
The hardline Islamist leader was arrested at Jamia Rahmania Arabia Madrasa in Mohammadpur on Sunday in a case filed with Mohammadpur Police Station in 2020, according to the police.
"He was arrested after investigators found clear evidence of his involvement in the incident," said Harun Ur Rashid, Tejgaon division deputy commissioner.
Mamunul, joint secretary general of the radical group, was known for his hate speech and aggressive sermons in religious congregations and on social media, enjoying popularity among hardliners.
