A. K. M. A. Awal Saydur Rahman (known as AKMA Awal; born 3 March 1954)[1] is a Bangladesh Awami League politician and a former Jatiya Sangsad member representing the Pirojpur-1 constituency during 2009–2018.[1] As of September 2020, he has been serving as the president of the Pirojpur district Awami League branch.[2]

Early life[]

Awal studied up to H.S.C..[3]

Career[]

Awal was elected to the parliament from Pirojpur-1 in 2008 and re-elected on 5 January 2014 as a Bangladesh Awami League candidate.[4] On January 2012, he testified against Delwar Hossain Sayedee at the International Crimes Tribunal.[5]

Corruption charges[]

On 30 December 2019, Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) filed three cases against Awal. In the first case, he, along with his wife, Laila Parvin, took lease of a government land using fake documents and built a three-storied building on it. In the second case, he was accused of illegally grabbing another land and built a bungalow in Swarupkati Upazila. The third case accused him of grabbing a 44 decimal pond known as “Rajar Pukur” in Pirojpur town and erecting a boundary wall to keep it in his possession.[6] They took interim bail from the High Court on 7 January 2020.[7] On 3 March, a Pirojpur court ordered to send Awal and Parvin to jail after rejecting their bail prayer.[8] But the court reversed the ruling four hours later and granted the bail.[9][10] Meanwhile, District and Sessions judge, Abdul Mannan, was stand released on the charges of corruption.[9] On 21 September, the Pirojpur court extended the bail for another month.[2]

In January 2021, a Senior Special Judge's Court of Dhaka ordered ACC to freeze 18 bank accounts and seize documents of 40 scheduled immovable properties of Awal and Parvin. The order was upheld by a High Court bench in May 25.[11]
