Salahuddin gets 14-day judicial remand

SHILLONG: The Bangladesh politician Salahuddin Ahmed, who was arrested by the police for illegal entry into Meghalaya on May 11, was on Wednesday remanded to 14 days judicial custody by the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate KM Lyngdoh Nongbri.
However, since Salahuddin was complaining of chest pain, the court directed the investigating officer to provide medical help following which he was admitted to NEIGRIHMS again.
It was on Tuesday that Salahuddin was discharged from NEIGRIHMS after his condition was found to be stable and subsequently he was taken into police custody.
The lawyer of Salahuddin, SP Mahanta said that due to chest pain and sleeplessness, the court directed the investigation officer to provide medical treatment  after he was remanded to judicial custody.
Salahuddin told reporters after he was remanded to judicial custody that he needed further medical treatment since he was suffering from chest pain. He, however, thanked the authorities for providing medical help.
East Khasi Hills SP M. Kharkrang said that there was a suggestion from NEIGRIHMS that if Salahuddin complaints of chest pain, he should be given treatment.
On Tuesday, Salahuddin was interrogated by the police after he was taken to Sadar Police station to find out the reason which led to his entry into Meghalaya even as Salahuddin maintained that he was kidnapped by unidentified persons.
