Bangladesh Khelafat Majlis Ameer Maulana Md Mamunul Haque earns Tk 13 lakh annually from teaching and business.

Currently, he has liquid assets worth Tk 83 lakh, and has invested Tk 1 lakh in bonds and shares, according to his affidavits submitted to the Election Commission.

Mamunul, also joint secretary general of Hefazat-e-Islam, has no farm land, but owns non-agricultural properties worth nearly Tk 82 lakh. He is running from Dhaka-13 constituency.

He still has three pending cases against him, two of which are under the Explosive Substances Act filed in 2014 and a case under the Anti-Terrorism Act registered in 2021. The former is under trial, while the latter under investigation.

The third case, filed with the Darus Salam police station in Dhaka in 2013, has been stayed by the High Court.

He has faced a total of 41 legal cases, including four for manslaughter and seven for attempt to murder, filed between 2012 and 2021. Thirty-seven of these cases were disposed of in 2025 and one in 2024. He was acquitted in five of these cases, while the rest were withdrawn by the state.

The highest number of cases -- 19 -- were filed in 2021, the year Hefazat-e-Islam waged a movement against the arrival of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Dhaka, resulting in clashes with law enforcers.
