Indian High Commissioner to Bangladesh, Pranay Verma, was summoned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on shortly before 10am on Tuesday.
Sources at the foreign ministry confirmed the matter.
India’s Deputy High Commissioner was also present at the time.
Foreign Secretary Asad Al Siam summoned the high commissioner.
According to ministry sources, Pranay Verma was summoned due to the emerging security situation surrounding Bangladesh missions in various parts of India. He was requested to strengthen security at Bangladesh missions across various locations in India.
Earlier, on December 14, Pranay Verma had also been summoned.
At that time, Bangladesh expressed concern over the continued provocative statements by former ousted prime minister Sheikh Hasina and sought India’s cooperation in preventing the killer of Inqilab Mancha spokesperson Sharif Osman Hadi from fleeing to India.
Bangladesh requested that if the accused manages to enter Indian territory, they be immediately arrested and extradited to Bangladesh.
