Detained Tarique Rahman, eldest son of BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia, was provided division in Dhaka central jail Tuesday, reports UNB.
DIG (Prison) Major Shamsul Haider said Tarique who had been staying in jail as an ordinary prisoner since his arrest in March was provided the division after receiving the High Court order.
On June 7 the High Court upon an application ordered the jail authorities to comply with the lower court's previous order relating to the division for Tarique.
BNP senior joint secretary Tarique has been facing a number of criminal cases including extortion.
