BNP · Netrokona-4
Md Lutfozzaman Babar is the Member of Parliament for Netrokona-4, currently focused on ongoing legal proceedings regarding his past cases.
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court scheduled a hearing regarding the state's appeal in the 21 August grenade attack case.
CONSTITUENCY NUMBER CORRECTION: The task requested this file be built for constituency 152, described as Netrokona-4 (Mohanganj + Madan + Khaliajuri). The true EC-assigned number for Netrokona-4 is 160, confirmed by: (1) Wikipedia List of Constituencies of the Jatiya Sangsad placing Netrokona-1 at 157, Netrokona-2 at 158, Netrokona-3 at 159, Netrokona-4 at 160, Netrokona-5 at 161; (2) parliament.gov.bd legacy page explicitly titled 'Constituency 160' for this seat; (3) EC Netrokona district website titling the constituency '১৫৯ নেত্রকোণা-৪' (a discrepancy from other sources likely reflecting an older delimitation numbering -- Wikipedia is more authoritative here). Constituency 152 is Mymensingh-7 (Trishal Upazila), a different seat. constituency_number is set to 160 (truth) per schema instructions. The file is named cnst_152.json as requested by the task author to match the erroneous number in the task prompt. TERM COUNT: Multiple news sources (TBS, BSS) state 2026 is Babar's 'fourth time elected' from this seat. Wikipedia Netrokona-4 election table shows wins in 1991, 2001, and 2026 (lost 1996 June, lost 2008). The fourth win may refer to the February 1996 7th JS election in which BNP participated before dissolving parliament after 12 days -- Wikipedia Lutfozzaman Babar article lists his first term ending '24 November 1995', leaving the Feb 1996 term unlisted but consistent with a very short 7th JS term. term_count set to 4 per primary news sources; prior_terms captures all three confirmed prior stints. CRIMINAL CASES: Babar was convicted and sentenced to death in both the 21 August 2004 grenade attack case and the 10-truck arms haul case (April 2004). Following Sheikh Hasina's resignation in August 2024, both convictions were overturned: High Court acquitted him in the 10-truck arms case (December 2024) and the grenade attack case (December 2024). Released from Keraniganj Central Jail on 16 January 2025 after 17.5 years. No ongoing criminal cases confirmed at time of verification -- criminal_cases is empty. wealth_disclosed_bdt and income_annual_disclosed_bdt are null: EC nomination affidavit PDF not publicly accessible at time of verification; not imputed. VOTE MATH: 160,801 / 209,872 = 76.618% (rounded 76.62%); 39,840 / 209,872 = 18.983% (rounded 18.98%); margin = 76.62 - 18.98 = 57.64 pp; raw margin = 160,801 - 39,840 = 120,961 votes (matches TBS/BSS reporting of ~1.2 lakh margin).
