Taher was elected as a Member of Parliament in Bangladesh from 2001 to 2006[1][5][6] and was part of two parliamentary bodies, the Public accounts committee and the Public undertaking committee.[citation needed]
Taher was also arrested by joint forces on allegations of extortion, looting and grabbing during the tenure of the military backed caretaker government on 7 March 2007. He was released on ad-interim bail on 7 August 2008.[7]
Taher was imprisoned several times, most recently in 2013, when he was arrested on 2 January 2013,[8] by RAB personnel, in connection with various allegations, including arson attacks, attacks on police and conspiracy against the government. He was later released on bail.[citation needed]
