Bangladesh’s Interim Govt Dismisses 2 Diplomats in India

New Delhi: The caretaker government in Bangladesh has dismissed two Bangladeshi diplomats posted at the High Commission in India.

They were relieved from duty as per an order that came into effect on August 17.

Shaban Mahmud, First Secretary (Press), was asked to relinquish his position at the Bangladesh High Commission in New Delhi before the end of his contract.

Ranjan Sen, also a First Secretary (Press) at the Bangladeshi consulate in Kolkata, relinquished his post on Saturday before the end of his tenure.

Tensions between India and Bangladesh continue after the fall of the Sheikh Hasina government. India has called back “non-essential” staff and the families of diplomats at the Indian High Commission in Dhaka due to concerns over violence.
