The father of Mariam, the second wife of MP Gazi Nazrul Islam, has told a court he has no objection to the lawmaker's bail, according to bangla.bdnews24.com. The outlet reports that the man, identified in Bangladeshi media as Mir Mohammad Akhtaruzzaman, submitted a compromise petition, or "apsanam," in court on Wednesday, 30 September 2026.
Bangla.bdnews24.com reports that the petition also backs bail for the MP's first wife. Several Bangladeshi outlets, including The Daily Star Bangla, Prothom Alo and The Daily Ittefaq, carried similar accounts of the court filing.
According to bangla.bdnews24.com, Mariam's father said he now wants to maintain what he described as a warm, family-like relationship with Gazi Nazrul Islam. The reports state that the case against the lawmaker grew out of suspicion.
The material available does not identify the court, the specific charges, or the terms of the compromise petition, and no further details of the proceedings were provided in the reports reviewed.
What to watch next: whether the court accepts the compromise petition and how it rules on the bail pleas for the MP and his first wife.
