Bangladesh envoy to Greece called back
The government has finally called home Bangladesh Ambassador to Greece Golam Mohammad as he has been found guilty of sexually harassing a female official of the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) recently.
According to a highly placed source, the foreign ministry yesterday asked him to return to Dhaka and report to the ministry by next one month.
Following an investigation into the incident in Athens, a three-member inquiry team, headed by Maritime Affairs Unit Secretary Khurshid Alam, recommended taking punitive action against the envoy for the offence.
The IOM official and her office lodged a complaint with the foreign ministry after she had been sexually harassed by the envoy during an invitation to the ambassador's residence.
The ministry received complaints and intelligence agencies reported against Golam Mohammad a number of times even when he was posted in Indonesia, but no step was taken against him.
But this time the ministry was compelled to take action against the envoy following the complaint lodged by an international organisation.
