Former Awami League-linked political figures Moinul Hasan, Kawsar Khan, Sohrab Hossein, and many of their associates who were actively involved in the Politics of the Awami League and the Chhatra League reportedly joined the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP).
Moinul Hasan had previously served as an Upazila Chairman, while Sohrab Hossein was associated with the Jubo League and Kawsar Khan with the Chhatra League.
Following their alignment with BNP, local residents reportedly observed a rapid return of their political influence in the area, particularly.
The three and their associates had subsequently been accused by local residents of using their previous political connections with the Awami League to engage in extortion and attempts to take control of land and other local property earlier.
These allegations have contributed to concerns among some residents about the return of politically connected local groups to positions of influence.
