They vandalised and torch the triplex house of Bahar around 1:30am

Some people of Cumilla, along with a section of the Awami League, started supporting former Chhatra League leader AKM Bahauddin Bahar in the ‘80s to usher in a new era of young leadership and counter the influence of late party heavyweight Afzal Khan’s family in regional politics. Little did they know what was ahead of them.  

Cumilla-6 Awami League lawmaker AKM Bahauddin Bahar today said that the letter (asking him to leave the election area) Election Commission gave to him was “out of its jurisdiction”. 

BNP MP Harunur Rashid today in parliament came down heavily on the Election Commission over its helplessness as the ruling party MP from Comilla-6 AKM Bahauddin Bahar did not leave his constituency despite instructions of the commission.
