The High Court commutes the jail term of former BNP Minister Nazmul Huda to four years from seven years on a bribery case filed during the regime of military backed caretaker government.

Ex-BNP leader Nazmul Huda-led Bangladesh National Alliance (BNA), a platform of 31 political parties, expresses solidarity with Awami League-led 14-party alliance and will join programmes led by the alliance to protest criminal activities and secret killings.

The Supreme Court scraps High Court verdicts that had acquitted former BNP minister Nazmul Huda and former Mayor of Dhaka City Corporation Sadeque Hossain Khoka in separate corruption cases.
