DHAKA, July 2, 2025 (BSS) – A Dhaka court today scrapped bail plea filed by former Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) KM Nurul Huda in a case lodged for manipulating the national election.

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Sefatullah passed the order as Huda’s counsel filed the plea before the court.

Earlier on July 1, KM Nurul Huda gave confessional statement in the case. Dhaka Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Ziadur Rahman recorded Huda's statement under section 164 as the police produced him before the court after the end of his four-day remand in the case and pleaded to record his statement.

The court of Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Awlad Hossain Mohammad Zunayed on June 27 had placed KM Nurul Huda on a four-day remand in the case. Huda was placed on a four-day remand for the first time in the case on June 23.

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 chief election commissioners, 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 SB, NSI and DGFI have been accused in the case.

Police later in the day (June 22) took KM Nurul Huda into their custody from his residence at sector 5 of Uttara as a mob apprehended the former CEC around 7pm. He was later shown arrested in the case.
