A local BNP leader in Faridpur has been expelled from the party after an obscene video allegedly involving him went viral on social media.
The expelled leader, Md Obaidur Rahman, was organising secretary of the Aliabad union BNP unit under Faridpur Sadar upazila.
His expulsion was confirmed in a letter signed on Thursday night by Faridpur district BNP Convener Advocate Syed Modarres Ali Isa and Member Secretary AKM Kibria Swapon.
The letter said Obaidur had been removed from his party post and stripped of his primary membership over allegations of conduct amounting to moral turpitude.
Isa said the decision was taken at a meeting of the district BNP on Thursday night after the allegations against Obaidur were found to be true.
Repeated attempts to contact Obaidur by phone for comment were unsuccessful.
Earlier, a five-minute and 37-second obscene video allegedly showing the BNP leader with a woman circulated widely on social media.
