In Nilphamari-4 (Kishoreganj-Saidpur) constituency, Awami League leader and anti-terror case accused Faruk Hossain was seen leading the election campaign of Jatiya Party’s candidate Siddikul Alam. A video posted on Siddikul Alam’s Facebook page on Sunday afternoon showed Faruk walking alongside the candidate, raising his hands to seek votes from the public. Faruk is the president of a local Awami League unit, a former union parishad chairman, and the 38th accused in an anti-terror case filed with Kishoreganj Police Station.
Upazila Jamaat-e-Islami chief Abdur Rashid Shah expressed concern, saying Awami League activists were actively participating in the Jatiya Party candidate’s campaign. When asked, Kishoreganj Police Station Officer-in-Charge Md Lutfor Rahman said he was unaware of the matter but would act if evidence was provided, noting that an accused person does not carry a visible label.
The anti-terror case was filed on June 4, 2025, accusing 44 named and 150–200 unnamed individuals of spreading hostility against the state and government and conspiring against the chief adviser.
