Ailing Awami League (AL) presidium member and former home minister Mohammad Nasim, who was released on a four-month bail on Friday, flew to Singapore yesterday evening for better treatment.

Family members of Nasim said he would be admitted to Mount Elizabeth Hospital in Singapore.

The AL leader had been undergoing treatment at LabAid Hospital in the city since June 24 this year for brain haemorrhage complications.

Nasim was arrested on February 4 last year and was sentenced to 13 years' imprisonment by a special court for amassing illegal wealth.

He is also accused in another corruption case in connection with illegal installation of telephone lines by Worldtel Holdings Ltd.
