War crimes suspect and BNP leader Salauddin Quader Chowdhury has been quizzed at the 'safe home' of the International Crimes Tribunal.
SQ Chowdhury was taken to the 'safe home' from Dhaka Central Jail around 9:15am on Tuesday.
A house at the city's Dhanmondi, which the ICT investigation team is using for interrogation, is called 'safe home'.
ICT investigation officers told reporters that the interrogation, which started at 10:00am after his medical check-up as directed by the court, continued until 5:00pm.
Earlier, Jamaat-e-Islami chief Motiur Rahman Nizami and secretary general Ali Ahsan Mohammad Mojaheed were questioned at the 'safe home' on Thursday and Sunday respectively.
The tribunal on April 19 permitted the investigation panel to quiz SQ Chowdhury at the 'safe home'.
Since his arrest from a house at Banani in the city on December 16 last year, SQ Chowdhury was produced before the tribunal on December 30 last year and January 17 this year.
On December 19, three days after his arrest in connection with a case filed over an arson attack on a private car near Maghbazar level-crossing during a BNP-enforced strike on June 26, the tribunal ordered to show SQ Chowdhury arrested on war crimes allegations.
The war crimes investigation agency earlier submitted a petition to tribunal registrar Shahinur Islam on December 15, seeking his arrest.
In his hometown Chittagong, Prafulla Chandra Singha had brought allegations against SQ Chowdhury of killing his father Nutan Chandra Singha, owner of herbal medicine factory Kundeshwari Aushadhalaya, during the war in 1971.
