A local labor leader in Goaland, Rajbari, has been expelled after admitting to running a beer business in the Daulatdia brothel area, a confession that went viral on Facebook. The expelled leader, Md. Suman Molla, also known as Chandai, served as vice president of the Upazila Labor Party. The expulsion was announced in a statement signed by Upazila Labor Party president Md. Sarwar Molla and general secretary Abul Kashem Mia, citing breach of party discipline and damage to the party’s reputation.

According to the statement, the decision followed public outrage among residents and party members after the viral audio surfaced. Sarwar Molla said Suman’s own admission of involvement in drug trade activities had tarnished the party’s image, prompting his removal. The matter will be discussed further with district-level leaders for additional action.

Earlier, on April 25, a phone conversation between Suman and lawyer Mokim Mondal was shared on Facebook, where allegations of beer and yaba trade and property disputes were raised. Suman later claimed he made the remarks in anger and denied involvement in drug trading.
