Bangladesh Police have sent a letter to Interpol to bring back Rabiul Islam Apon alias Arav Khan, who is a fugitive accused in a murder case of a police inspector, Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal has said.
“All-out efforts are underway to bring back Arav Khan to Bangladesh. Interpol's cooperation has already been sought to arrest Arav Khan,” he told journalists after attending a program in Dhaka's Tejgaon area.
Meanwhile, former IGP Benazir Ahmed said he is not familiar with Arav Khan.
Benazir Ahmed also mentioned having no prior acquaintance with Arav khan on his verified Facebook page on Saturday.
"I performed my duty with devotion. Now I am retired. I had no personal contact or acquaintance with Arav or Rabiul," he told Bangla Tribune on Saturday.
Arav Khan, whose real name is Rabiul Islam alias Apon alias Shohag alias Hridoy, is a fugitive accused in a number of cases, including one filed over the murder of Special Branch Inspector Md Mamun Emran Khan in 2018.
After the murder, Rabiul allegedly fled to India and secured an Indian passport under the name of Arav Khan, and went to Dubai.
Since February, Arav Khan also posted videos of several cricket stars from England, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Afghanistan and UAE, who were supposedly invited to the event.
