The suspect, a resident of West Sicha village in Chandipur union, previously served as the joint organizing secretary of the NCP’s Sundarganj upazila branch. Following the incident, the party leadership moved swiftly to sever ties with him.
Khademul Islam, the convener of the Gaibandha district NCP unit, confirmed the expulsion. A formal press release issued by the party, signed by senior joint convener Rashedul Islam, stated that Khan was removed from all organizational responsibilities and stripped of his primary membership due to confirmed involvement in antisocial activities and violations of party discipline.
