Meghalaya police say BNP leader Salahuddin will be pushed back to Bangladesh on court orders.
Indian police will push back arrested BNP leader Salahuddin Ahmed to Bangladesh if court orders, said a top Meghalaya police official.
“We will produce Salahuddin before court after the hospital authorities where he is undergoing treatment release him,” said Vivek Syiem, superintendent of police (city) of East Khasi Hills of Meghalaya.
Talking to The Daily Star over his mobile phone around 6:20pm, the police officer said upon the court order they will push Salahuddin back to Bangladesh authorities.
Asked, he said they have already communicated with the Bangladesh High Commission in Delhi and the country’s mission in Kolkata to this end.
Replying to a query, Vivek said he thinks there is not much procedural complexities regarding pushing Salahuddin back to Bangladesh.
He added that Salahuddin’s wife will be able to meet her husband once she arrives there.
On Salahuddin’s physical condition, M Kharkrang, SP, East Khasi Hills, told The Daily Star over telephone around 6:10pm that although the Bangladeshi senior political leader seems okay the hospital authorities are yet to release him.
He said they will interrogate Salahuddin upon his release from the hospital on his trespass into Shillong.
