Condition of Tarique Rahman, who Monday suffered head injuries from a fall in bathroom in custody, has improved, doctors at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) said, report UNB and bdnews24.com.
"He is better but under complete observation. We can't say anything until 48-hour time is over," Dr Kazi Mazharul Islam Dolon said Tuesday afternoon, a day after his injury news incensed his party's student activists into triggering mayhem in and around Dhaka University area.
The physicians examined Tarique at about 12noon. Dolon said Tarique has head pain and the right side of his injured head has swollen. He also suffers from fever. He may undergo CT scan after 48-hours, he added.
DIG (Prisons) Maj Shamsul Haider Siddique, who went to BSMMU to see Tarique's condition, said that he was "getting well." He told reporters Tuesday afternoon that all preparations had been made for Tarique to undergo a CT scan. "However, Tarique himself refused to go," he said.
"There is no need to worry," Siddiqui said. "Doctors have assured that the scan may be done anytime in the next couple of days, as his condition is stable."
Other prisons officials, preferring not to be named, earlier said Tarique would undergo CT scan Tuesday, and he might be taken to Ibn Sina Hospital. However, police were deployed around Square Hospital Tuesday.
