Four years after radical Islamist group Hefazat-e-Islam wreaked mayhem in Dhaka and elsewhere, there has still been no visible headway made in cases filed over the incidents. Among the cases, 53 were filed in Dhaka including seven for murders. Law enforcers have so far submitted charge sheets in only four cases, filed with Ramna, Sher-e-Bangla Nagar and Kalabagan police stations. Following the incident, police arrested 376 people including Hefazat General Secretary Junaid Babunagari, Nayeb-e-Ameer Mufti Izharul Islam’s son Harun bin Izhar, and its leader Mufti Wakkas. In his confessional statement before a court, Babunagari admitted that Hefazat activists were involved in the anarchy.
