Amir Mahmudul Hasan Momtazi, Nayebe Amir Nur Hossain Nurani and 11 others for attacking theAhmadiyyas in Jyotindranagar on the day.
The plaintiffs said they had earlier gone to Shyamnagar Police Station and submitted two separate FIR (first information report), but police declined to record the cases.
The IKNMB members from a procession on the day injured 50 Ahmadiyyas and looted several houses after hanging a signboard that branded the local Ahmadiyya Complex as a 'place of worship' and asked people not to mistake that for a mosque.
Plaintiff Saidul said the attackers injured Ferdousi, wife of his (Saidul) son Rafiqul Islam. Sheikh Alam in his case alleged that the attackers threatened to rape his daughter.
Another member of Ahmadiyya community, Ohidur Rahman, filed a case on April 19 against six people including Momtazi, Nurani and local Nabuwat leader Nur Hossain for attacking and injuring his wife Rahima Begum and looting their house.
Meanwhile, police yesterday confined local Ahmadiyya missionary Sheikh Abdul Wadud and Ahmadiyya member Altaf Hossain at Harinagar police camp for eight and a half hours.
Ahmadiyya leaders said the police intercepted the two Ahmadiyyas at around 9:00am when they were
passing by the area. Police took them to the camp finding some leaflets in their bags.
Shyamnagar police said the government has banned such publications but the Ahmadiyya leaders in Dhaka said the leaflets were not on the list of banned publications.
"There is no reason to confine them since the leaflets were not among those banned. Moreover, the High Court in January stayed the ban for four months," said Towheedul Islam, an Ahmadiyya spokesman in Dhaka.
Being informed of the confinement, Ahmadiyya leaders from their headquarters in Dhaka sent a fax copy of the High Court stay order to local Circle SP (Superintendent of Police) Ilias Sharif. Receiving the fax, police released the two Ahmadiyyas at 5:30pm.
However, Satkhira SP Abdur Rahim told The Daily Star that locals caught the two Ahmadiyyas with some books and handed them over to police. He said he ordered to release them.
