The Ministry of Local Government, Rural Development and Cooperatives has temporarily suspended Md. Saidur Rahman Bhuiyan, chairman of Lengura Union Parishad in Netrokona’s Kalmakanda upazila. The order, issued on Sunday, stated that Bhuiyan obstructed the activities of an executive magistrate and committed contempt of court during official proceedings, which constituted misuse of power and misconduct under local government law.

According to the report, the incident occurred when Bhuiyan became involved in an argument with Kalmakanda Upazila Nirbahi Officer (UNO) Masudur Rahman. The dispute arose at Lengura Bazar after the UNO detained Bhuiyan’s brother, Md. Parvez, during the construction of a market on government land. A video of the altercation later circulated on social media.

The suspension order emphasized that Bhuiyan’s actions were inconsistent with the responsibilities of an elected representative and violated administrative discipline.
