Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC) has accused Nurul Haque Nur of causing disruption at their office after allegedly pressuring officials to award a contract to a preferred contractor. DNCC says Nur phoned Additional Chief Engineer Mohammad Arifur Rahman on May 18, threatening to lock down the office if his demands weren't met.

In response, Nur and the Gano Adhikar Parishad denied the allegations, claiming the real issue was the administration's refusal to award a contract to the highest bidder—one of their members—without demanding a commission. They further alleged that DNCC Administrator Mohammad Ejaz is linked to the banned outfit Hizb ut-Tahrir and is unfit to hold such a sensitive post.
