Staff Correspondent
Former President Abdul Hamid returned home from Bangkok early Monday on a Thai Airways flight.
He landed at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport at around 1:25am, following medical treatment in Bangkok.
According to a reliable source at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport, Abdul Hamid completed his immigration formalities and was later seen resting in the VIP lounge.
He left the airport premises at around 3:10am under strict security measures, an officer of a leading intelligence agency posted at the airport told UNB.
Earlier, on the night of 8 May last month, the former President had departed for Bangkok on another Thai Airways flight for medical purposes.
His return comes amid ongoing discussions surrounding a case filed against him on January 14 this year at Kishoreganj Sadar Police Station.
The same case also names several high-profile figures, including former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, her sister Sheikh Rehana, her son Sajeeb Wazed Joy, daughter Saima Wazed Putul, and Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader.
The departure of Abdul Hamid following the filing of the case sparked widespread controversy and debate across the country.
