Steps to be taken to bring back Subrata Bain: Adviser
Home Adviser Maj Gen (retd) MA Matin yesterday said the government would take initiatives to bring back dreaded criminal Trimoti Subrata Bain arrested in Kolkata recently.
Talking to reporters at the home ministry, he, however, said he was not informed of the arrest officially.
The government would make all-out efforts to bring back Subrata Bain after it is informed officially, the adviser added.
Meanwhile, Criminal Investigation Department (CID) has already started making contacts with the Indian police in this regard, sources said.
A top CID official said, "We have already contacted the Indian police and told them that we want to bring back Subrata Bain who is now on a two-week police remand."
Earlier, the CID chief and Additional Inspector General of Police Md Javed Patwary told The Daily Star, "Even though there is no extradition treaty between Bangladesh and India, we have brought back several criminals who went into hiding in India and that we will try to bring him back following the procedures maintained earlier."
The CID so far brought back eight criminals, including two top criminals -- Khandaker Tanveerul Islam Joy and Hares Ahmed -- who were hiding in India.
Sources said Indian Special Force arrested Bain in a midnight drive on Saturday at a flat on Park Avenue in Kolkata, adding that he had been hiding in India after the home ministry on December 27, 2001, published a list of 23 top criminals of Dhaka and declared bounties for their capture. Bain was in the top five on the list.
Police said Bain is accused in 17 cases, including murders cases filed against him in Ramna Police Station.
