The government has once again extended by another month the parole of Arafat Rahman Coco, younger son of former prime minister Khaleda Zia. The home ministry in a circular Thursday announced that the duration is stretched up to June 15 on a petition by Coco's lawyer Mahbub Uddin Khokan. The government on April 13 had extended the parole up to May 16. Coco, an accused in the GATCO corruption case along with his mother, and facing other graft cases, fell ill behind bars during the past caretaker government's tenure. — bdnews24.com
