[5] He is widely seen as an influential figure in BNP and held several high-profile positions within the party, including the post of senior vice chairman.

[6][7] In 2018, he was sentenced to life imprisonment for organising the 2004 Dhaka grenade attack by then-Awami League government, which his associates claim were false allegations and a political ploy.

[9][10] Tarique was involved in politics from a young age and rose to prominence in BNP during his mother's tenure as prime minister in the early 2000s.

[19] During that period, he proactively organized the BNP units of Bogura and changed the inherent cultures to make politics more production and development oriented.

[19] After the BNP's success in the national elections of 1991 and the formation of the new government, Rahman was offered a senior role in the party as recognition of his contributions.

He actively campaigned to address issues of economic deprivation and started championing a countrywide consultation program aimed at publicizing the plight of the people living in rural areas.

[21] Tarique Rahman was the prime suspect in the 21 August 2004 Dhaka attack which targeted a public rally organized by the then-opposition party Awami League.

The 1/11 caretaker government backed by the army confirmed that Rahman gave written bond of not to indulge in any future politics and was allowed to go abroad.

[26] On 9 November 2017, the Bangladesh Supreme Court dismissed Khaleda and Rahman's petition seeking stay on trial proceedings on the Zia Orphanage Trust corruption case.

But after the custody my son had to be sent abroad in a stretcher for treatment... Doctors have said his recovery will take more time…"[28] On 8 December 2009, in The 5th National Council of Bangladesh Nationalist Party, Rahman was declared as the senior vice chairman of BNP.

[36] In November 2018, Rahman conducted the interview process through Skype for the nomination seekers of BNP party at the 2018 Bangladeshi general election.

[41] On 7 June 2007, a money laundering case was submitted against Rahman and his friend and business partner Giasuddin Al Mamun by the Bangladesh Anti Corruption Commission at a court in Dhaka.

The Bangladesh Anti Corruption Commission member Mohammed Shahabuddin rejected the verdict, saying: "Tarique and Mamun had equal footing in the crime.

"[44] BNP officials and leaders claimed that this judgement is a proof of his innocence and he had no involvement with corruption, and that all the cases against Rahman were "politically motivated".

One interesting thing to note in this case here is right after delivering the controversial not-guilty verdict, the lower court judge fled the country.
