A court here today placed former Chief Election 
Commissioner (CEC) KM Nurul Huda on a four-day remand in a case lodged for 
allegedly manipulating the national election.

Dhaka Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Mustafizur Rahman passed the order as 
police produced the former CEC before the court and pleaded to place him on a 
10-day remand in the case filed with the capital's Sher-e-Bangla Nagar Police 
Station.

Earlier, the police produced the former CEC in the courtroom at around 4.10 
pm while he was brought to the court around 3.05 pm and was kept at the 
lockup on the ground floor.

BNP national executive committee member Md Salah Uddin Khan filed the case on 
Sunday morning against 24 individuals, including ousted Prime Minister Sheikh 
Hasina and three former CECs, for manipulating the national elections in 
2014, 2018 and 2024.

Former Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal, four former Inspectors General 
of Police (IGP), several former Election Commissioners and former Chiefs of 
Special Branch (SB), National Security Intelligence (NSI) and Directorate 
General of Forces Intelligence (DGFI) had been accused in the case.

Earlier on June 22, police took KM Nurul Huda into their custody from his 
residence at sector no: 5 of Uttara as a mob apprehended the former CEC at 
around 7pm. 

Later, he was shown arrested in the case.
