A Chittagong court has issued an arrest warrant for Mufti Izaharul Islam, the prime suspect in a blast at a Chittagong madrasa.
SM Abdur Rashid of the Second Additional Metropolitan Sessions Judge’s Court gave the order on Thursday.
On Oct 7 last year, an explosion ripped through the second floor of a dormitory at the Jamayetul-Ulum-Al Islamia Madrasa, run by Hifazat-e Islam leader Mufti Izahar and chief of a faction of the Islami Oikya Jote.Five students were injured — three of whom died later while under treatment.
Izahar’s son Harun was in-charge of the dormitory. It tried to pass off the incident as a ‘laptop-explosion’ but police had recovered handmade bombs, acid and explosives after raiding the Madrasa.
Police had lodged three cases over the blast– two under Explosives Act and the other for murder. – bdnews24.com
