Ex-President Hamid returns home

Former President Abdul Hamid has returned home after treatment in Thailand.

He landed at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (HSIA) around 1:30am on Monday, June 9, through a flight of Thai Airways.

After all formalities, he left the airport at about 2:45am.

Abdul Hamid came back home like ordinary passengers and did not seek any protoocol, HSIA's executive director Ragib Samad told the media.

Earlier, on the night of 8 May last month, the former President had departed for Bangkok on another Thai Airways flight for medical purposes.

His return comes amid ongoing discussions surrounding a case filed against him on January 14 this year at Kishoreganj sadar police station.

The same case also names several high-profile figures, including former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, her sister Sheikh Rehana, her son Sajeeb Wazed Joy, daughter Saima Wazed Putul, and Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader.

The departure of Abdul Hamid following the filing of the case sparked widespread controversy and debate across the country.
