By-elections to six constituencies are being held today, but the Brahmanbaria-2 has become the centre of attention as independent candidate Abu Asif Ahmed has been “missing” for five days.
The Election Commission has directed the district administration and police to conduct an investigation into the alleged disappearance of a candidate in the upcoming Brahmanbaria-2 (Sarail-Ashuganj) by-polls.
The liquid cash of expelled BNP leader Abdus Sattar Bhuiyan, who is running for the Brahmanbaria-2 by-polls as an independent candidate, rose three times in the last four years.
