Family members of BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia sought a six months' extension on the government order that released her for six months.

Shamim Iskandar, younger brother of Khaleda Zia, applied to the Ministry of Home Affairs recently seeking the extension, said the former prime minister's family members.

Seeking anonymity, a lawyer who prepared the documents said the letter that secured release for the BNP chairperson earlier was submitted again this time from her family members.

On Friday, Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal said they received a written application of Khaleda Zia and it was forwarded to the law ministry.
