DHAKA, April 21, 2025 (BSS) – The National Identity Registration Wing of the Election Commission (EC) has locked the National Identity Cards (NIDs) of Sheikh Hasina and her nine family members.

System Manager of the EC’s National Identity Registration Wing Muhammad Ashraf Hossain confirmed the matter to BSS here today.

The other members whose NIDs have been locked are Sajeeb Wazed, Saima Wazed, Sheikh Rehana Siddiq, Tulip Rizwana Siddiq, Azmina Siddiq, Shaheen Siddiq, Bushra Siddiq, Radwan Mujib Siddiq and Tarique Ahmed Siddiq.

According to the system manager, an NID locking means, its information can no longer be corrected or changed. As the locked NIDs are unusable, Sheikh Hasina and her nine family members will not get any NID-related services.
