Maulana Abul Kalam Azad
Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, known as Bachchu Rajakar, fled his residence in the city's Uttarkhan area early Tuesday hours before the International Crimes Tribunal-2 ordered his arrest in connection with crimes against humanity.
A team from Detective Branch of police searched the four-storied ‘Azad Villa’ for around an hour from 2:30pm soon after they received a warrant to arrest Azad, a former leader of Islami Chhatra Sangha.
The student wing of Jamaat-e-Islami was known as Islami Chhatra Sangha before Bangladesh's independence in 1971. It was renamed Islami Chhatra Shibir on February 6, 1977 at a mosque in Dhaka.
Azad left his Uttarkhan house around 3:30am with his two sons – Jihad Azad and Faysal Azad, Sunanda Roy, an assistant commissioner of DB, told The Daily Star quoting Azad’s daughter Samania Jannati who was at home during the search.
When the tribunal sat for the day’s proceedings Tuesday morning, it granted a petition of the prosecution to issue order for arresting Azad.
The tribunal ordered the Dhaka Metropolitan Police commissioner to arrest Azad and produce him before it 24 hours into his arrest.
The three-judge panel headed by its Chairman Justice ATM Fazle Kabir came up with the order after accepting a petition of the prosecution to issue arrest warrant against Azad.
The court said the arrest warrant was issued for the sake of proper investigation after it was reported that witnesses in the cases were being intimidated either by Azad or his supporters.
The court also asked the prosecution to provide the accused with a copy of the allegations levelled at him.
