[Dhaka Tribune] Ready-made garments businessman Md Enamul Haque, charged with bad boy financing in a case filed with Chittagong's Hathazari cop shoppe on February 19 under the Anti-Terrorism Act, was placed on two days' remand yesterday.

in a case lodged over the raid of Al Madrasatul Abu Bakar, the ideological training centre of new bad boy outfit Shaheed Hamza Brigade (SHB), in Hathazari upazila, said Prosecutor Abul Hashem.

Rapid Action Battalion 7 (RAB 7) raided the Hamza Brigade's ideological training centre on February 19, and then busted the outfit's military training centre two days later on February 21. The elite force discovered the bad boy outfit's explosives warehouse on February 29.

Enamul, director of Golden Touch Apparels in the capital's Turag area, was nabbed from his workplace by RAB 7 on September 5, after the elite force discovered that he had deposited money into the bank account of Hamza Brigade leader Moniruzzaman Masud alias Don.

On September 10, Enamul made a statement under section 164 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) in a case lodged under the Anti-Terrorism Act with Banshkhali cop shoppe over the raid of a Hamza Brigade military camp on February 21.

He was later remanded for three days after being shown arrested in the Banshkhali case.

Hamza Brigade members Harunur Rashid, Md Asadullah, Mostakim Billah and Mohammad Yusuf, who were sent on three days' remand, on Sunday made statements under section 164 of the CrPC before the court of Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate Shahidullah Kaisar in the Hathazari case.

On the night of August 18, the daughter of BNP former whip Sayed Wahidul Alam, Supreme Court Barrister Shakila Farzana, Supreme Court Advocate Md Hasanuzzaman Liton and Dhaka Judge Court Advocate Mahfuz Chowdhury Bapon were arrested for allegedly financing the Hamza Brigade.

They confessed to depositing money into the account of Hamza Brigade leader Moniruzzaman Masud alias Don, but claimed to be returning their clients' advance fees. They denied involvement in funding the bad boy outfit.

RAB 7 also found links between the Hamza Brigade and Dubai citizen Allama Libdi, with evidence that Libdi visited Bangladesh several times to give cash to the bad boy outfit.

RAB 7 nabbed 29 Hamza Brigade members and four alleged financiers. But RAB sources said the outfit's kingpin was still on the run.

Between February and June, the elite force seized 25 sophisticated native and foreign made arms including eight AK-22 rifles, 4,443 bullet rounds, 76 powerful bombs, 150 kilogrammes of explosives, 30 kinds of bomb making materials out of which 2,000 bombs could be made and a large number of documents.

RAB said the Chittagong-based Hamza Brigade -- modelled on the Syria-based international bad boy outfit Mujahideen -- was formed in November 2013 by former members of Islami Chhatra Shibir
