A local Jamaat-e-Islami leader, Inamul Molla, 26, was temporarily relieved of his party post in Boalmari, Faridpur, after allegations of an improper relationship with the wife of an expatriate Bangladeshi. The action was taken on Tuesday afternoon, according to party sources, and an internal investigation has begun. Molla had served as ameer of Jamaat’s Ward No. 9 unit in Boalmari municipality.

Local and party sources said Molla had long maintained close contact with a woman from the Kutipara area of Kushadanga village, whose husband is currently abroad. The alleged relationship recently became known to both families and local residents, prompting discussion and criticism in the area. Molla also works as a receptionist at Molla Doctor K Halim Hospital in Boalmari market.

Molla could not be reached for comment because his phone was switched off, and he was not present at his workplace. Municipal Jamaat ameer Syed Niamul Hasan said the allegation was being investigated and further decisions would follow after consultation if it is found true. Party sources said the allegation remains an allegation until the investigation is completed.
