Former home minister Sahara Khatun has been moved back to intensive care after her condition deteriorated during treatment at United Hospital in Dhaka.

She was receiving medical care in the high dependency unit when the reading on the heart rate monitor became unclear at around 11:00 am on Friday, her aide Mujibur Rahman said.

He said, "The doctors moved her to the ICU immediately,” reports bdnews24.com.

Sahara was admitted to United Hospital on Jun 2 with a fever, allergy and other preexisting conditions.

The 77-year-old lawmaker was shifted to the ICU on Jun 19 after her condition deteriorated but later showed signs of improvement.

A member of the Awami League's presidium, Sahara Khatun is a three-time MP from the Dhaka-18 seat. She was made the home minister in 2008 and later served as the post and telecommunication minister.
