Serious allegations of irregularities and abuse of power have surfaced within the Bangladesh Archery Federation, despite the sport’s recent international success. Federation president Dr. Md. Mokhlesur Rahman has been accused of misusing authority, removing the treasurer without approval, and withdrawing large sums from the federation’s bank account. The general secretary, Tanvir Ahmed, lodged a formal complaint with the National Sports Council (NSC) on April 21, citing unauthorized meetings, irregular financial transactions, and unilateral decisions by the president.
According to the complaint, the president replaced the treasurer and changed the bank signatory without the general secretary’s consent, withdrawing about 1.4 million taka from Prime Bank’s Dilkusha branch. The NSC had formed the current ad hoc committee in March 2025, meaning any member’s removal requires its approval. NSC sports director Aminul Ehsan confirmed that the federation had no authority to dismiss the treasurer and termed the move illegal.
The NSC has received the complaint and pledged to investigate the matter seriously, while the president defended his actions as being based on a unanimous decision.
