There is an allegation of involving a live eagle bird in the election campaign on behalf of an independent candidate in Rajshahi.
A photo depicting such campaigning has been circulated on Facebook, following which a representative of the Awami League candidate in the constituency lodged a written complaint with the Election Scrutiny Committee on Saturday afternoon.
The independent candidate for Rajshahi-5 (Durgapur and Puthia) seat is Obaidur Rehman, former vice president of District Jubo League and his election symbol is Eagle.
According to complaints and local sources, one of his supporters was campaigning with a live eagle.
Abdul Wadud, who is contesting as an Awami League candidate from the same seat, is the general secretary of the district Awami League. His chief election representative, lawyer Abdus Samad, filed a written complaint with the Election Investigation Committee.
