Corporation. Khaleda Zia prayed for salvation of his departed soul. She also expressed deep sympathy to the bereaved family members. In the condolence message, she recalled the contribution of the leader to the BNP.
Musleh Uddin Ahmed, also former BNP general secretary of Motijheel, died in police custody on Saturday night. He was sent to Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH), after he fell sick in Motijheel Police Station at about 10:00 PM. The doctors of the DMCH declared him dead.
Motijheel police arrested Musleh Uddin in political violence cases on July 1.
