BNP Standing Committee member Salahuddin Ahmed has returned to Bangladesh after spending over nine years in India.
Salahuddin arrived at Dhaka`s Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport at 2:15pm on Sunday as he departed from New Delhi on a flight at 11am, BNP`s media cell confirmed.
Upon his arrival, Salahuddin was welcomed by many leaders and workers of the party at the VIP lounge of the airport.
He disappeared from Dhaka on 10 March 2015. The next day, the Shillong police filed a case against him for trespassing into India.
On 26 October 2018, an Indian court acquitted him of the illegal entry case. However, Salahuddin`s return to Bangladesh was banned when the state appealed the court`s verdict.
After nearly seven years of trial, the verdict in the case was announced on 28 February last year where he was acquitted. Later, he got the travel permit on 12 June.
The Assistant High Commissioner of Bangladesh in Guwahati issued his travel pass on 6 August, clearing the way for his return.
