Bangladesh will be working closely with Thailand in tracing all available information about the alleged Erawan Shrine bomb blast plotter from his two-week interim stay in the country last month, said Bangladesh Embassy in Bangkok.
The law enforcement agencies in Bangladesh are currently investigating the case and would share all relevant information with Thai authorities and all other countries and agencies concerned, including the Interpol, the Embassy said in a message yesterday.
Bangladesh Embassy in Thailand since the Erawan Shrine bomb blast in Bangkok has already put high security alert on its tourist visa regime from Thailand to Bangladesh towards preventing any entry attempts of similar profiled individuals and has disseminated all information regarding the individual to Bangladesh and Thai authorities concerned, it said.
As per records of Bangladesh Embassy in Thailand, the alleged person was issued a single entry tourist visa on the basis of all valid travel documents early August and entered Bangladesh on August 16, one day before the Erawan Shrine bomb blast in Bangkok.
By the time Bangladesh authorities received information from Bangkok law enforcement agencies, the alleged person had already left Bangladesh on August 30, 2015.
Bangladesh Ambassador to Thailand Saida Muna Tasneem is in close touch with the Thai Foreign Ministry, law enforcement agencies in Thailand as well as with Thai media, while agencies concerned of the two countries are also exchanging information on the case.
