Jamaat-e-Islami leader Delwar Hossain Sayedee has been shifted to a hospital as he complained of chest pain on Thursday night, soon after he was taken back to jail after conducting the funeral prayer of his elder son.
He was brought back to the Dhaka Central Jail at 8:30pm after the namaz-e-janaza of Rafique-Bin-Sayeed, who died on Wednesday, at the capital's Motijheel Government Boys' High School playground.
Soon after his return, the Jamaat executive council member complained that he was feeling pain in the chest, and he was admitted in the BIRDEM hospital for treatment, Jailer Mahabubul Islam said.
Sayedee's youngest son Masud Sayedee has appealed for ensuring his father's treatment while in jail.
Earlier, Sayedee had left for the school playground under the supervision of jail authorities around 5:45pm. He reached the school ground around 6:15pm.
Dhaka Central Jail Jailor Mahbubul Islam told : "We received his parole order around 5pm. The microbus carrying Delwar Hossain Sayedee started for the school around 5:45pm."
Jamaat's key ally BNP's Standing Committee members MK Anwar, Mirza Abbas, Barkatullah Bulu, Altaf Hossain and Jamaat-e-Islami's leaders, along with some party activists, attended the janaza.
Sayedee spoke to his family after the prayers inside a police cordon. Then the jail authority's microbus took him back to jail around 7:15pm.
Sayedee's younger son Masud Sayedee said, "My brother will be buried at a graveyard adjacent to Allama Sayedee Foundation Mosque in our ancestral home in Pirojpur. Father has taken the decision."
Sayedee's mother Gulnahar Yusuf Sayedee, who died in October last year, was also buried at their ancestral home.
The Ministry of Home Affairs in an order earlier on Thursday had said he would be out of jail from 5pm until the funeral ends.
Jamaat's executive council member Sayedee was indicted on Oct 3, 2011 on 20 counts of war crimes including murder, rape, arson and loot during the nation's War of Independence from Pakistan in 1971. He is currently lodged in in the Dhaka Central Jail.
His son, Rafique-Bin-Sayeed, 43, died of cardiac arrest on Wednesday at the Ibrahim Cardiac Hospital, doctors said.
He was rushed in unconscious state to the hospital from the International Crimes Tribunal-1. Rafique was present at the court while his father's war crimes investigator was being cross-examined.
Sayedee's family had pleaded for his parole on Wednesday so that he could join the funeral.
The last time Sayedee was released on parole was when his mother Gulnahar Yusuf died. He then had also conducted his mother's funeral prayers.
Sayedee was arrested on Jun 29 last year in a case filed on charges of hurting religious sentiments. Then he was shown arrested in a case filed on charges of committing crimes against humanity during the country's War of Independence.
