Bangladesh detains Hasina era former election chief

Gulf Today

|

June 24, 2025

A Bangladesh court on Monday remanded in custody the former elections chief for his alleged role in rigging the vote in favour of now-ousted autocrat Sheikh Hasina.

KM Nurul Huda, 77, was ordered to be detained for four days while questioning continues, a day after a mob who smashed into his home and assaulted him eventually handed him to the police.

On Sunday, the powerful Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) filed a case against Huda and other former election commissioners it accuses of rigging past polls in favour of Hasina, whose 15 years in power ended in an mass uprising in August 2024.

Hours after the case was filed, a mob stormed Huda’s home in the capital Dhaka, and dragged him onto the street.

They put a garland of shoes around his neck and beat him up before handing him over to the police.
