The Narayanganj district unit of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) has expelled Salauddin, general secretary of the party’s Ward No. 1 unit in Siddhirganj, from all party positions. The decision was announced in a press release issued on Tuesday, May 5, 2026, by district BNP convener Professor Mamun Mahmud. Salauddin had been arrested in connection with an extortion case filed at Siddhirganj Police Station.

According to the statement, Salauddin was expelled for engaging in extortion, disorderly conduct, and activities that violated party discipline and principles. Copies of the expulsion notice were also sent to BNP Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi and the party’s Dhaka divisional organizing secretary.

The case against Salauddin was filed on April 26, 2026, after a businessman accused him of demanding money and assault. Police later arrested him and sent him to jail through the court. Local media and social platforms have previously reported allegations of criminal activities involving him.
