Early life

Belal was born on 25 July 1954. He graduated with an H.S.C. degree.[1] He fought in the Bangladesh Liberation War and was awarded the gallantry award Bir Protik.[2]

Career

Belal was elected to parliament in 2014 from Netrokona-5 as a candidate of the Bangladesh Awami League.[1] On 15 August 2018, a rally organized by him broke into fights between different factions of Bangladesh Awami League.[3]

Controversy

Belal became embroiled in controversy after his wife accused a woman of blackmailing him into marriage. In 2023, she filed a case at Purba Dhola Police Station, alleging that nine people, including the woman, conspired to kidnap her husband and forge a marriage certificate. Locals and party officials disputed the kidnapping claim, noting that Belal attended multiple party events during the alleged incident.[4]
