Immigration SI suspended for allowing pilot without passport

A sub-inspector of the Bangladesh Immigration Department has been suspended for neglect of duty as he let a Biman Bangladesh pilot travel abroad passportless to bring back Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

DIG Afzal Biswas of the Special Branch of Police announced the suspension of SI Qamruzzaman on Saturday.

 “He is accused of neglecting duty. He did not check the pilot’s passport which was his duty,” Afzal said, reports bdnews24.com.

The government has formed two committees to investigate how Captain Fazal Mahmud Chowdhury travelled to Qatar on Wednesday without any passport to fly back Hasina.

The prime minister returned home on Saturday morning from Finland on a special Biman flight operated by another pilot.
