BNP Joint Secretary General Salahuddin Ahmed has been admitted to the intensive care unit of North Eastern Indira Gandhi Regional Institute of Health and Medical Sciences (Neigrihms) in India’s Shillong where he is under the supervision of a specialist.
Neigrihms Director Dr AG Ahangar told reporters Salahuddin had undergone some medical tests and the next steps in his treatment would be taken based on the reports.
“Neigrihms is a specialised hospital and visitors cannot talk to Salahuddin anytime they wish. During his diagnosis, he talked to his wife,” Abdul Latif Jony, BNP’s assistant office secretary who was with Salahuddin in Meghalaya, told the Dhaka Tribune over phone.
He said Salahuddin would not appear in court until he was deemed medically fit by doctors.
“Salahuddin’s wife Hasina Ahmed told her husband that she has been in close contact with his lawyer, SP Mohonta.”
On Wednesday, the BNP leader was shifted to Neigrihms from Meghalaya Civil Hospital for better treatment.
Police in Meghalaya lodged a case against him for entering India without valid documents and his entry into a third country is now subjected to legal proceedings.
SP Mohonta, a senior lawyer at the Meghalaya High Court, will be representing Salahuddin.
The BNP leader went missing on March 10 and reappeared in Shillong on May 11.
After his disappearance, his wife repeatedly claimed that he had been picked up by police.
But police strenuously denied the allegation.
Salahuddin recently said he did not remember much of what happened to him after March 10.
