Dhaka: Bangladesh Nationalist Party acting secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir, who has been undergoing treatment at a city hospital since his release on bail on Tuesday evening, returned his Uttara home on Thursday.

Mirza Fakhrul reached his house around 3pm from United Hospital, said BNP chairperson’s media wing member Sayrul Kabir Khan.

He said the BNP leader will go to Singapore after the Eid-ul-Fitr for treatment.

Six months after his arrest, Fakhrul walked out of the Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) prison cell after his release order reached the jail authorities.

From the BSMMU, the BNP acting secretary general went straight to the United Hospital to visit his ailing mother, Fatema Amin, there. He later got admitted to the hospital.

On 6 January, plainclothes police picked Fakhrul up as he came out of the Nationalist Press Club after nearly 25 hours of stay there following BNP's announcement to observe January 5 as 'Democracy Killing Day', protesting the 10th parliamentary polls held on the day in 2014.
