17 Indians await HC clearance to return home


Seventeen Indian nationals, including a woman, who have completed the term of punishment in Comilla Jail are awaiting clearance of the Indian High Commission to return home.

Jail officials said the Indians were held and convicted on charge of smuggling arms and drugs. They have completed their jail term weeks ago and are eagerly waiting to return home.

Complication arose about their return home as they suppressed real name and address. Indian High Commission after verification of their given identification and address refused to give them clearance to return home.

Officials said the matter was informed to the higher authorities for immediate return of the Indian nationals.
