Koko falls ill at court

Arafat Rahman Koko, youngest son of detained former prime minister Khaleda Zia, fell sick in the magistrate's court yesterday morning.
Lawyers pleading for his bail told the court that Arafat felt chest pain, as magistrate Abdul Fattah ordered a seven-day remand for his interrogation against the government's prayer for 10 days.
The magistrate asked the police to interrogate Arafat carefully during the remand.
Witnesses said Arafat left the court and got into a Pajero jeep with the help of some police personnel at about 9:50 am.
