BNP leader Ruhul Kabir Rizvi alleged that an Awami League figure was responsible for “heinous misconduct” in Muradnagar but the ruling party was falsely blaming the BNP.

“Sheikh Hasina may have fled, but her accomplices remain, continuing their misdeeds,” he said, adding that the lack of strong action by law enforcement was emboldening such activities.

He demanded swift prosecution of those involved. Meanwhile, the local chairman described the incident as “a mere extramarital affair,” claiming that student activists from the ruling party laid a trap, caught the couple red-handed, and filmed them.
