Former State Minister for Information and Communication Technology Zunaid Ahmed Palak sustained serious neck and lower back injuries in a prison van accident while being taken to the International Crimes Tribunal. According to his lawyer, Tariqul Islam, an MRI was conducted at PG Hospital following a court order, and the report has now been received.

The MRI results revealed complications in the L2, L3, and L4 vertebrae of Palak’s lower back, as well as issues in the C5/6 and C6/7 discs of his neck. His lawyer stated that Palak had already been unwell and was unable to move his neck properly when visited in prison last Saturday.

Although the MRI confirmed significant spinal and neck problems, Palak has not yet received the necessary medical treatment. His lawyer said a petition will be filed in court to ensure proper medical care for him.
