During his term, he was beaten up by the local people of Dhaka-4 and was rushed to a nearby hospital and earned himself the nickname "dhor Salahuddin" after an incident where he allegedly cut off the water supply and then proceeded to strike two women who were protesting against him. He illegally had taken over a college in Syedabad and had it renamed after himself however he later backed out due to pressure from a notable political figure.
