The government has decided to recall Bangladesh Consul General in Milan Md Tauhedul Islam for his “indecent behaviour” towards a female colleague.
A primary investigation conducted by a team of officials from the Prime Minister’s Office and the foreign ministry found evidence of the misconduct.
The ministry formed the probe team with PMO Additional Secretary Paban Chowdhury, ministry’s Additional Secretary Jishnu Roy Chowdhury and director Kazi Anarkoly. “The team went to Milan in October and found primary evidence against him [the consul general],” said an official.
In its report submitted in November, the probe team recommended recalling Tauhedul because he lost his credibility to work in the mission, the official added.
As per government rules and regulations, a detailed investigation will be conducted against Tauhedul and the ministry will take action in line with the recommendations put forward.
An officer of the 17th BCS cadre, Tauhedul served in Bangladesh Permanent Mission in New York prior to his posting in Milan.
