There, the former premier and her two sons --Tarique and Koko—will pay their last respects.
He, however, could not confirm the time when the body will arrive and the three will be paroled.
The IGP (prisons) met Khaleda Zia at around 11 last night at subjail in Jatiya Sangsad Bhaban compound and wanted to know if she

Khaleda Zia accepted the last option and told the prison chief that she wants to see her mother's body at her residence on Shaheed Moinul Road in cantonment.
Reliable sources said the government would send an air force helicopter to Dinajpur to fly in the body of late Taiyeba Majumder. The home ministry would com plete the formalities regarding the parole by this morning.

in response to a written prayer by the BNP leadership, the government granted permission for Khaleda and her sons to be on parole, said sources.
The three would be taken to the Moinul Road residence minutes before arrival of the body, which would later be taken back to Dinajpur by a helicopter and laid to rest there.
