Bogra Jail Authority Refutes Allegations of Inmate Abuse by Ex-National Citizen Party Leader
Bogra District Jail administration issues a formal rebuttal against custodial torture claims raised by ex-National Citizen Party leader Gazi Salauddin Tanveer.

The Bogra District Jail authorities have strongly denied allegations of custodial torture raised by Gazi Salauddin Tanveer, former joint member secretary of the National Citizen Party, labeling them as entirely false and fabricated.

In an official press release issued on Saturday (September 26, 2026), prison authorities stated that following thorough internal verification, no instance of physical or mental abuse occurred during Tanveer’s detention across Bogra District Jail and Dhaka Central Jail in Keraniganj. Responding to claims made during Tanveer's Friday press conference at the Dhaka Reporters Unity—where he alleged being subjected to forced injections and improper medical care—the authorities clarified that he was admitted to the prison hospital before being transferred to Shaheed Ziaur Rahman Medical College and later to Bangladesh Medical University for advanced treatment prior to his release on bail on September 15. The administration also dismissed allegations that incarcerated Awami League leaders were illegally taken out of the facility at night, emphasizing that such claims undermine the institution's public image and requesting concrete evidence from any accusing parties.
