Disgraced former State Minister for Information and Broadcasting, Murad Hassan, is reportedly coming back to Dhaka today, having failed to enter Canada and the UAE.

An Emirates flight carrying Murad is expected to reach Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport around 8:20am, a source at the airport told UNB last night.

A family member of the former state minister said Murad reached Dubai airport from Canada around 10:30pm (BST).

As he has no valid visa to enter Dubai, he may return home, his relative said, requesting anonymity.

Murad Hassan left the country for Canada in an Emirates flight early on Friday.

Due to public outrage over his misogynistic remarks, the prime minister on December 6 directed Hasan to hand in his resignation. The next day, Hasan sent in his resignation to the prime minister and President Abdul Hamid.
