From New Age
Ghulam Azam would brought back to Dhaka Central Jail after Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University Hospital discharges him, the inspector general of prisons said on Monday.
‘We will bring him back to jail after getting a release letter from the hospital authorities,’ IG prisons Brigadier General Mohammad Ashraful Islam Khan told a media briefing at his office.
Azam is under treatment at the BSMMU Hospital.
‘An x-ray, recommended by the physicians, had been done on his waist on Monday’, BSMMU Hospital director brigadier general Abdul Majid Bhuiyan told New Age.
The doctors on Sunday advised Azam’s MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) and X-ray after he complained of back pain.
Bhuiyan said the MRI could not be conducted as he had it done a few days back.
‘We are trying to bring the report from his home,’ he said.
‘If the report serves the purpose no fresh MRI test will be needed,’ he added.
On Saturday, the BSMMU authorities told the jail authorities in a letter that Azam needed no treatment in a hospital, after a medical board had given its report on his health.
But, on Sunday the medical board advised for shifting him to orthopaedics department following waist pain.
Azam, charged with 62 counts of war crimes, including crimes against humanity, was shifted to BSMMU Hospital from Dhaka central Jail.
His medical board comprises professor of cardiology Sajal Kumar Banarjee and associate professor of nephrology Habibur Rahman Dulal.
