India deports Bangladesh man wanted in sensational seven-murder case

Xinhua, November 13, 2015 Adjust font size:

India has deported a Bangladeshi fugitive wanted in a sensational seven- murder case.

Nur Hosssain, the key accused in the 7-murder case, was handed over to Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) personnel early Friday, a Home Ministry official said.

The official who did not like to be name said Hossain, wanted in almost a dozen cases including the one filed over the killing of seven people in Narayanganj on the outskirts of capital Dhaka in April last year, fled to India immediately after the murders which outraged Bangladesh.

The deportation took place a day after the Bangladesh government handed over a detained top Indian separatist to the Indian authorities.

Anup Chetia, general secretary of the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA), a northeast Indian separatist group seeking to establish a sovereign Assam, was arrested in Bangladesh in 1997 and sentenced to seven years in jail for illegal entry and possession of firearms. As the jail term ended, he reportedly refused to return to India and sought for political asylum. Endit
