BNP issues show-cause notice to MP Fakhruddin Bacchu

The Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) has issued a show-cause notice to its lawmaker from the Mymensingh-11 (Bhaluka) constituency, Fakhruddin Bacchu, over allegations of extortion, controlling the jute trade, and exerting influence over various business establishments.

A reliable BNP source confirmed the matter on Saturday.

According to the notice, signed by BNP Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi, the party has received allegations against Bacchu, including extortion, which have also been reported in various media outlets. 

The notice asks him to explain within 48 hours why disciplinary action should not be taken against him.

The notice also states that Bacchu had previously been relieved of his party responsibilities following various allegations that emerged after August 5. However, after he admitted his mistakes and sought forgiveness, the party withdrew the disciplinary order on September 30, 2025.
