Md. Ekram Ali, a leader of Rajshahi Metropolitan BNP, is facing allegations of unlawfully occupying an abandoned room at the Rajshahi University Railway Station to run political activities. According to local sources, the room was locked and seized following the July uprising, and recently converted into a makeshift party office with new paint and furniture. Ekram Ali denied the allegations, claiming he reopened the room to prevent drug use and criminal activities. Railway authorities have stated that appropriate action will be taken if the claims are verified.
