Missing ex-diplomat returns home after 15 months
DHAKA, March 16, 2019 (BSS) – A retired Bangladeshi foreign service official who went missing 15 months ago, returned overnight him home in Dhanmandi, police and family members said.
“Maroof Zaman has returned last night . . . we have visited his home but could not talk to him as he was critically sick,” Officer-in-Charge of Dhanmondi police station Md Abdul Latif told BSS.
Zaman, who served as Bangladesh ambassador to Vietnam, went missing on his way to Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport after he left his Dhanmondi home in his private car to pick up his daughter from Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport on December 4, 2017.
“After 15 and a half months, or 467 days… my father is back,” Shabnam Zaman, daughter of Maroof Zaman, said on her Facebook status.
She added: “My sister and I are both profoundly grateful to those individuals who have supported us throughout this period.”
