He was elected to parliament on 15 February 1996 from Jessore-1 as a candidate of Bangladesh Nationalist Party.[1] He was expelled from the party after supporting reforms in the party during the caretaker government tenure from 2007 to 2008.[2] He was arrested in Jessore Airport on 23 May 2011 after carrying a loaded gun into the airport. The Bangladesh Members of Parliament Mohammad Khaledur Rahman Tito, Mostafa Faruk Mohammad, and Narayon Chandra Chanda were present in the airport.[3]
