Bangladesh was represented at the 2006 Commonwealth Games in Melbourne by 19 athletes competing in 5 disciplines.[1] They won one medal, in shooting.[2]

The flag bearer for the opening ceremony was shooter Saiful Alam.

Shooter Toufiqur Rahman groped a female worker in a gymnasium at the athlete's village. He was fined AU$1000 by the Melbourne Magistrates' Court and received a lifetime ban from national or international competition by the Bangladesh Olympic Association.[3][4]

Runner Mohammad Tawhidul Islam, after failing to qualify for the men's 400m finals, disappeared from the athletes' village.[5] Later he was one of 26 athletes or officials from the games (mostly from African countries) to seek asylum in Australia.[6]
