Bangladesh, July 22 -- Jamaat-e-Islami has expelled Satkhira-4 MP Gazi Nazrul Islam after a video showing him in a private moment with a woman went viral on social media.

The decision came at an emergency meeting of the party's Central Executive Council on Wednesday afternoon, according to a Jamaat media statement.

The controversy erupted after the video circulated widely online. Nazrul had claimed the woman seen in the footage was his second wife.

Jamaat said an internal investigation found evidence of "moral misconduct" and that Nazrul had been expelled under Article 62 of the party constitution.

It also decided to immediately inform the Election Commission of the disciplinary action.

The meeting was held at 4pm at the Minto Road ...
