Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan yesterday ruled out the possibility of deporting Abdur Rauf Daud Merchant, an associate of mafia don Daud Ibrahim, in exchange of BNP leader Salahuddin Ahmed, now in India facing trial.
“Salahuddin who is now under trial in India will be brought back on completion of his trial,” he told reporters after the newly elected office bearers of Crime Reporters Association of Bangladesh (CRAB)met him at his office.
Replying to a query, Asaduzzaman said the case of BNP leader Salahuddin Ahmed is not extradition. “He’ll be brought back home on completion of his trial process like Nur Hossain, the prime accused in the Narayanganj seven-murder cases.”
He also declined to comment on Daud Merchant, saying the matter is subjudiced.
