Missing ex-envoy Maroof returns home after 15 months

Former Bangladesh Ambassador to Vietnam Maroof Zaman, who went missing on December 4, 2017, returned home on Friday night, according to his family members.

“After 15 and a half months, or 467 days… my father is back,” wrote the ex-envoy’s daughter Shabnam Zaman on her Facebook wall.

However, Shabnam said the family members would not provide detail in this regard.

She also expressed profound gratitude to those who supported them during the long period of her father’s absence.

Maroof came out of their Dhanmondi residence around 6:30 pm on December 4, 2017 to bring her daughter from Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport.

However, he neither went to the airport nor returned home.

Police recovered his private car which he was driving from the 300-foot Road in an abandoned condition.
