On Sunday, the public relations branch of Bangladesh's Election Commission also confirmed this information. In 2007, the then-military government arrested Tarek from his home in a corruption case. Lawyers alleged in court that Tarek was hanged from the roof and beaten while in custody. He sustained serious injuries to his spine. It is known that in 2008, the military allowed Tarek to leave the country in exchange for a bond under special arrangements. It is heard that Tarek had given a bond stating that he would never engage in politics again in his life.
When Bangladesh's first voter list with photographs was prepared in 2008, Tarek was in London. After that, he did not return to his country in Bangladesh. However, after recovering, Tarek became active in politics from London. Tarek Rahman returned to the country on December 25. He will contest in Bangladesh's upcoming election.
