Moulana Md Nasir Munir and Hifazat Joint Secretary Mamunul Haque, who made the headlines for opposing the statue of Bangabandhu, have been named as the key suspects. Hifazat Organising Secretary Azizul Haque Islamabadi, central leaders Meer Idris, Habibullah, Ahsanullah, Zakaria Noman Fayezi are among the others named in the case. “The suspects have mentally tortured Allama Shafi to death as part of a scheme, as per the case documents,” lawyer Abu Hanif said. In the case, Shafi’s family alleged that those leading the demonstration before Shafi’s resignation had threatened to “seriously harm him” if he had not expelled Anas. Shafi fell unconscious when they removed his nasal cannula at the madrasa on the day of the meeting, his brother-in-law Moin said in the case.
