Ahle Hadith leader on 2-day remand

A Dhaka court has sent former Ahle Hadith president Mojaffar Bin Mohsin to a two-day remand in a case over the murder of Islami Front leader Nurul Islam Farooqi, reports bdnews24.com.

Police say TV anchor Farooqi was a central leader of Ahle Sunnat Wal Jamaat which has serious ideological conflict with Ahle Hadith.

The law keepers on Sunday told the court Mohsin had ordered the killing of Farooqi who was murdered at his East Rajabazar residence on August 27.

Dhaka metropolitan detectives arrested Mohsin, 40, from the city's Mohammadpur area on Saturday for allegedly running a Facebook campaign against Farooqi before his murder.
