Residents have caught Hifazat-e Islam leader Mamunul Haque at a resort in Narayanganj’s Sonargaon with a woman who he claims is his second wife, reports bdnews24.com.
He was held on Saturday afternoon at Royal Resort’s room No. 501 that he had rented.
Sonargaon UNO and police officials went to the resort on hearing about the incident, said its Manager Lal Mia.
Zayedul Alam, the district’s superintendent of police, said they did not detain or arrest Mamunul, but were finding out what had happened.
Videos circulated on social media showed Mamunul altercating with locals. He is heard saying that the woman is his second wife.
Stick-wielding supporters of Hifazat launched an attack on the resort, vandalised it and threw brickbats in a bid to free him, witnesses said.
