Former minister and engineer Mosharraf Hossain has been transferred from the Dhaka Central Jail hospital to the ICU of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) following a serious health deterioration.

His wife, Ayesha Sultana, has submitted a formal appeal to the chief advisor seeking his immediate release on bail for advanced medical treatment. “He became critically ill on the night of August 5, and was moved to BSMMU for emergency care. I have appealed to the chief advisor for his swift bail and access to better treatment,” she said.
