The court has suspended the proceedings of two ongoing criminal cases against BNP Standing Committee member Salahuddin Ahmed. 

The suspension order was issued by Senior Judge Akhtar Javed's court in Cox's Bazar today (26 September), confirmed the defence lawyer, Touhidul Anwar, also the general secretary of the District Lawyers' Association.

Salahuddin Ahmed arrived at the court premises around 2pm, accompanied by party leaders, activists, and supporters.

Shortly after, he appeared in court alongside his legal team.

During the hearing, Salahuddin Ahmed's lawyers requested that their client be exempted from physically appearing in court for the cases. 

Touhidul Anwar, representing Salahuddin, argued, "Despite the incident occurring in 2001, the cases were filed in 2007 purely to target him politically," adding that Salahuddin Ahmed is a respected citizen of the country. 

The defence requested the court to dismiss the cases altogether.

"After hearing the arguments, the court has suspended the judicial proceedings of both cases," Anwar said.

Following the court order, Salahuddin Ahmed addressed the waiting journalists outside the courtroom, saying, "The honourable court has dismissed the cases against me after a lengthy hearing. Today, justice has been served."

The two cases were filed by Mahamudul Haq at Chakaria police station, accusing Salahuddin Ahmed, who was the then MP Cox's Bazar-1, of looting fish enclosures during his tenure as a state minister in 2001.
