Bangladesh PM adviser allowed entry, chose to return: MEA

New Delhi: Zahed Ur Rahman, the adviser to the Bangladesh PM, was permitted entry into India after re-confirming the purpose of his visit but he chose to return to Dhaka, MEA said on Tuesday. Bangladesh had lodged a protest with India after Rahman was stopped by immigration officials at the Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi over a week back as his name apparently figured in a security-related blacklist.

"He was queried by immigration officials at Delhi airport and was subsequently permitted entry after re-confirming the purpose of his visit... He, however, chose to return to Dhaka of his own volition," MEA said.
