Arrested ready-made garment businessman Md Enamul Haque charged with militant financing denied his involvement in militant activities yesterday.
Judicial Magistrate Farhana Yasmin recorded his statement under section 23 of the Anti-Terrorism Act in a case lodged with Hathzari Police Station on February 19.
In the statement, Enamul again said he did not deposit any money in the bank account of a leader of the newly traced militant outfit Shaheed Hamja Brigade.
He, however, said he deposited the money in the bank account of a business organisation as a part of a commercial transaction, said a court source. Judicial Magistrate Farhana Yasmin recorded the statement from 11:30am to 12 noon and sent the accused to jail.
Enamul, director of Golden Touch Apparels in the capital city’s Turag, was arrested by Rapid Action Battalion (RAB-7) on September 5 as it was found that Enamul deposited an amount in the bank account of Shaheed Hamja Brigade leader Moniruzzaman Masud alias Don.
