A British man has described how he believes MI5 agents were present when he was tortured as a suspected terrorist in Bangladesh.

In his first broadcast interview, Jamil Rahman claims he was stripped and beaten during his detention. His voice has been disguised to protect his identity.

The BBC cannot verify the claims. The Home Office has said it's prepared to challenge his claims in court.

Naresh Puri reports.
