Following a check-up, he was shifted to Dhaka Central Jail around 10:30am, Senior Jail Super Forman Ali said.
“His illness was not that serious. Doctors have prescribed some medicines and asked him to take rest.”
The war criminal was under observation of jail doctors until last night. “He will be sent to Kashimpur Jail after doctors discharge him,” Farman said.
