Salahuddin shifted to ICU in Shillong

Risingbd Desk: Ten days after he was found under mysterious circumstances in Shillong and arrested for violating the Foreigners Act, BNP leader Salahuddin Ahmed was on Thursday shifted to an ICU at NEIGRIHMS Hospital in the Meghalaya capital following heart and kidney complaints.

A decision on whether to send Ahmed back to Bangladesh or let him pass through the legal procedure in India will be taken only by a court after he is produced before it. “Ahmed is yet to be produced in a court of law. Right now he is not keeping good health and was only shifted to an ICU. He is a heart patient with complications of the kidney too,” said Shillong-based lawyer SP Mahanta, who has been engaged by Ahmed’s family.

Ahmed, who was reported missing from Dhaka since March, had surfaced in Shillong on May 11, with East Khasi Hills SP M Kharkhrang saying he was picked up after some local people informed the police about a man moving about suspiciously in the Golf Links area of the city.
