He was declared the winner of the Cumilla-7 constituency in 2024, but the election was marred by incidents of violence, ballot-stuffing, vote theft, and allegations of electoral irregularities. On 5 August 2024, the Awami League government fell amid widespread political unrest and protests after the state sanctioned killings of protesters nationwide. He has been charged for murder on three separate counts, one of which during
the July Revolution, regarding the killing of protestors where he was charged with
Sheikh Hasina. In 2025, Dr. Pran Gopal Datta was mentioned in a Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit (BFIU) report regarding financial transactions linked to the Shuchona Foundation, a non-profit founded by Saima Wazed, daughter of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. The foundation received significant donations from major Bangladeshi conglomerates, including S Alam Group, Beximco, and PK Halder, an individual accused of financial embezzlement. According to the report, Dr. Datta made financial contributions to the foundation. However, in November 2024, the BFIU ordered banks to freeze the foundation’s accounts due to suspicious transactions. The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) later reported that they could not find the foundation at its registered address in Dhaka’s Dhanmondi area. == Bibliography ==
