Awami League MP Haji Salim has returned to Bangladesh after receiving medical treatment in Thailand.

Salim landed at the Dhaka airport at 12:25 pm on Thursday, said his aide Mohiuddin Mahmud Belal, bdnews24.com reports.

The MP then went directly to Old Dhaka's Khaje Dewan Jamme Mosque to take part in funeral prayers for an Awami League activist from Lalbagh.

"He will then meet with party leaders and activists before going home," Belal said.

Asked when Salim would turn himself in to the court, his aide said: "That depends entirely on the lawyer. He will do so when his lawyer advises it."

The politician from Old Dhaka, who has been convicted in an illegal wealth case filed by the Anti-Corruption Commission, left Dhaka for Bangkok on Saturday.

The case was filed in 2007 during the rule of the army-backed caretaker government.

A special court handed him a 13-year jail sentence the following year.
