UNB, Dhaka

BNP leader Tarique Rahman was admitted to a hospital in South London Thursday evening for the treatment of his drying-up leg muscle.

Dr Kazi Mazharul Islam Dolon who went to London with Tarique told UNB Last night that Tarique is receiving physiotherapy at the hospital but the doctor will not name the hospital for security reasons.

He said Tarique is under treatment of British doctor James Turner of Wellington Hospital. "If the physiotherapy does not work, Tarique may need surgery."

Earlier, his medical test was done at three different hospitals-Hammersmith, King's Oak and Wellington hospitals.
