Shahadat Hossain, 29, was arrested at Dhaka’s Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport, said Police Deputy Commissioner Md Shahidullah on Friday.
Meanwhile, 38-year-old Jafor Ekbal, a native of Kishoreganj, was detained by the Italian police. Italy informed Bangladesh about the arrest earlier this month.
The two traffickers were part of a gang of six named in the Interpol’s red notice.
A separate case was filed against Shahadat on charges of trafficking a woman to India, Deputy Commissioner Shahidullah told bdnews24.com. The arrest was made a few days earlier.
Around mid-February in 2019, a Bangladesh Biman pilot felt something hit his aircraft while taking off from Dhaka s Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport.
Assuming it was a bird, the pilot immediately contacted the airport tower asking them to inspect the runway and check if anything was there.
Upon confirmation that a bird, which might have hit the plane, was lying dead on the runway, the pilot decided to make an emergency landing for the safety of the several hundred passengers on board. The bird strike could have caused major damage to the aircraft had it hit the engine. Thank God, it was nothing major, the pilot of the KSA-bound flight told The Daily Star recently.
