Earlier, at 3:05am on Wednesday (May 7), former President Abdul Hamid left the country on a Thai Airways flight.

According to airport immigration sources, Abdul Hamid was in very poor physical condition. Citing lack of security, he did not receive treatment at a hospital. Therefore, for advanced medical care, he went to Shahjalal International Airport around 11pm last night disguised as a regular passenger. At that time, he was wearing a mask and a cap.
