Former PM's son tortured

The detained son of Bangladesh's most recent elected prime-minister has said he was tortured during questioning-on-corruption allegations, reports have suggested.

Rahman was arrested last March as part of the military-backed emergency government's graft crackdown.

Tareque Rahman, the son of Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) leader Khaleda-Zia, told a court bail hearing that he was blindfolded and suspended from a ceiling.
