A case has been filed against three people including National Election Observation Parishad’s President Prof Kalimullah for his comment that Arfanul Haque Rifat, Awami League backed mayoral candidate of Cumilla City Corporation bought nominations in exchange of Tk 60 crore.

BNP has expelled Cumilla City Corporation mayoral candidate Monirul Huq Sakku from the party.
