SHILLONG: Ailing Bangladeshi politician Salahuddin Ahmed was shifted to NEIGRIHMS on Wednesday evening after being referred by doctors at the Civil Hospital here.
Ahmed had been undergoing treatment at the Civil Hospital since May 12 following his arrest by the city police for travelling without valid documents.

Following his admission at NEIGRIHMS, its Director, Dr. A.G. Ahangar, informed that a medical board will decide on what sort of treatment should be given to Ahmed.
