Khairul Kabir Khokon is a Bangladesh Nationalist Party politician and a former member of parliament for Narsingdi-1, who currently serves as the party's assistant secretary. He had served as the president of Narsingdi District unit of Bangladesh Nationalist Party.[1]

Career

Khokon was elected to Parliament in 2005 in a by-election from Narsingdi-1 as a candidate of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party.[2] The seat fell vacant following the death of incumbent Member of Parliament Shamsuddin Ahmed Ishaq. He defeated independent candidate Shahadat Hossain Munna.[2] The election was boycotted by the main opposition party, Awami League.[2] The voting saw a low turnout and voting centers were forcefully taken over by Bangladesh Nationalist Party activists who chased away the polling agents of other candidates.[2] His supporters attacked and burned the houses of his political opponents after his victory.[3] He received a plot from the government of Bangladesh.[4]

In March 2007, Giausuddin Al Mamun confessed to police that he and Khokon were involved in extortion of a businessman.[5] Mamun retracted the confession in 2009 which he alleged was taken through torture.[5]

In July 2008, Khokon attended a press conference demanding the release of former Prime Minister and chairperson of Bangladesh Nationalist Party, Khaleda Zia, who had been detained in the Zia Charitable Trust corruption case.[6]

Khokon was sued in the murder case of Narsingdi Mayor Lokman Hossain in November 2011 but was cleared by the courts.[7] The police also charged him with arson and vandalism.[7] He was then president of Narsingdi District unit of Bangladesh Nationalist Party.[8] On 14 November, he was released from jail on bail.[9] In December, the Parliamentary Standing Committee on the Home Ministry, criticised the police for charging Khokon with burning a train in Narsingdi and asked the police to arrest the real culprit.[10] Abdus Salam, chairman of the committee, and Mujib-ul-Haque Chunnu, member of committee described the case as "baseless".[10]

Khokon received bail on 6 January on a vandalism case from 18 December 2018.[11] On 25 April 2012, Khokon's residence was surrounded by police to prevent him from participating in Bangladesh Nationalist Party protests.[12] On 4 June, he was arrested by Detective Branch when he was leaving Dhaka Central Jail after receiving bail.[13]

On 22 March 2016, Khokon was sued in an arson case along with 32 other Bangladesh Nationalist Party leaders.[14]

In May 2017, Khokon was sent to jail in 10 arson cases from 2016 when the Bangladesh Nationalist Party was waging an anti-government movement.[15] On 4 June 2017, he received bail in seven cases from 2007 to 2015.[16] On 13 June, Bangladesh Supreme Court Justice Hasan Foez Siddique upheld his bail in five cases.[17] On 18 June, the High Court Division ordered the government to let Khokon travel abroad for Hajj.[18] On 10 October he was charged with assaulting police officers in a protest against filing cases against Khaleda Zia.[19]

Khokon is the Senior Joint Secretary of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party.[20] He was nominated by Bangladesh Nationalist Party to contest the 2018 Bangladesh General Election.[20]

On 28 November 2019, Khokon received bail in a case over vandalism and assaulting police officers near the High Court along with Hafizuddin Ahmed.[21]

On 15 September 2022, charges were framed against Khokon in the assault case from October 2017.[19]
