EC official romanization is 'Cumilla-6' matching the district renaming. Constituency composition (Comilla Adarsha Sadar, Sadar South, City Corporation, Cantonment) confirmed by BSS pre-election interview and Wikipedia; prior to 2018 the Galiara union of Sadar South was part of the seat. boundary_redrawn_2024 = false; last EC boundary adjustment was 2018.

No confirmed ongoing criminal case from primary source. Wealth and EC affidavit figures not publicly accessible. The TBS highway speech date (c. April 5 2026) is approximate based on article metadata; exact parliamentary session date not confirmed. [2026-06-08 audit correction] Upazila list corrected: 'Comilla Sadar South' (Sadar Dakshin) removed; it left Comilla-6 before the 2014 election.
