UNB, Dhaka :
Ulfa general secretary Anup Chetia could finally be heading home from ‘protective custody’ in Bangladesh immediately after the extradition of Nur Hossain, a wanted Bangladeshi criminal now imprisoned in Kolkata, reports The Times of India on Wednesday.
An accused in seven murder cases at Narayanganj, Hossain fled to India and was arrested by Kolkata police in June last for illegally entering India.
Quoting a source, the report said India has confirmed Bangladesh that it would hand over Hossain within this month under
the newly signed extradition treaty between the two countries.
“This is not an exchange (Chetia for Hossain). Hossain is an under-trial prisoner in Kolkata and will be sent to Bangladesh for trial. Chetia has completed his sentence for illegally entering Bangladesh and possessing foreign currencies. He is in protective custody offered by the Bangladesh judiciary after he expressed a threat to his life,” the source said.
