Koko’s wife returns to London

Sharmila Rahman Shithi, wife of BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia’s late son Aarafat Rahman Koko, has returned to London after over three and a half months’ stay in Bangladesh, UNB reports.

She left Dhaka on Sunday night and reached London on Monday, said BNP chairperson’s media wing member Sayrul Kabir Khan.

Meanwhile, Zahia Rahman, the eldest daughter of Koko, went to London on Saturday.

On 25 October last year, Sharmila along with Zahia came to Dhaka as Khaleda Zia fell sick.

As Khaleda Zia’s health condition improved a bit, Sharmila went to London, where she has been staying since the death of her husband, said a BNP leader, wishing not to be named.

Sharmila had been taking care of Khaleda since she was admitted to Evercare Hospital on 13 November.

On 9 January, Khaleda was shifted to a cabin from the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of the hospital as her health condition improved.
