A Kushita court on Tuesday placed on remand four people, who were arrested in connection with the damage of a sculpture of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman 

Two cases have been filed against three people, including Hefazat-e-Islam Bangladesh chief Junaid Babunagari for their remarks opposing the setting up of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman’s sculptures.

A writ petition was filed with the High Court (HC) on Sunday seeking security of all sculptures including those of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman across the country.

Police on Sunday arrested four people including two teachers of Kushtia Ibn masud R Madrasha at Jugiya Paschimpara in connection with the vandalism of an under-construction sculpture of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman in the district town.

Thousands of protesters belonging to 65 self-proclaimed pro-liberation, sociocultural organisations jointly demonstrated against the new leadership of Hefazat-e-Islam - newly-elected Ameer Junaid Babungari and Joint Secretary General Mamunul Haque - for their opposition to installing a sculpture of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and 'humiliating  the constitution'.
