== Arrest, Exile, and Legal Challenges == In 2007, after a military-backed caretaker government took control, Tarique Rahman was arrested on corruption charges. He faced multiple cases β from money laundering to extortion and abuse of power. After nearly 18 months in custody, his deteriorating health prompted the government to grant him bail on humanitarian grounds. In 2008, he left Bangladesh for '''medical treatment in London''', where he has lived ever since. In exile, Tarique has continued to face legal challenges in absentia. Several verdicts were issued against him, including convictions related to alleged money laundering and the 2004 grenade attack on an Awami League rally. BNP and international observers have often described these trials as '''politically motivated''', aimed at sidelining the opposition leadership.
