Jail authorities yesterday seized a cellphone of a Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University doctor when detained Tarique Rahman, son of detained former premier Khaleda Zia, was found talking to the outside from the prison cell of the hospital using the doctor's phone.

Deputy Inspector General (DIG-Prisons) Maj Shamsul Haider Siddique however told The Daily Star that they seized two cellphones from the police personnel guarding Tarique Rahman at the BSMMU prison cell.
But other sources said jail guards caught Tarique red-handed as he was talking over the mobile phone of the doctor, sparking a chaos in the prison cell. Later, the jail authorities rushed to the hospital cell and seized the cellphone. They however said the jail authorities also seized another cellphone from a policeman guarding the prison cell of Tarique at the hospital.
