Hijbut men threaten judge over leader's remand order


Activists of an Islamist group, Hijbut Tawhid, threatened Magistrate Abu Sayeed for placing the group's district commander Jasim Uddin on a five-day remand.

A gang of five people claiming themselves as members of the group entered the magistrate's room on Friday and threatened him of dire consequences if he did not grant bail to Jasim arrested on Thursday from Hybotnagar of the town.

Sub-inspector Main Uddin of Kishoreganj Police Station said during the investigation Jasim admitted that he worked as a district commander of the Islamist group.
