Talking to reporters at the airport, he said, “I’m very sick. I’ve a blockage in my internal carotid artery. It’s a very rare, complicated disease. That’s why I’m going to Singapore for treatment. I urge all to pray for me so that I can come around soon.”

On January 6, plainclothes police picked Fakhrul up as he came out of the Jatiya 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.
