The government has asked Mohammed Kamrul Islam, Counsellor (Labour wing) at Bangladesh Mission in Geneva, to return home.

He has been stand released following the harassment faced by Law Adviser Dr Asif Nazrul in Geneva recently, a source at Expatriates Welfare and Overseas Employment Ministry said on Thursday.

Kamrul was accompanying the adviser when the incident occurred before entering the airport.

He allegedly remained silent when Asif Nazrul was "harassed."

A video went viral on social media that a group of people aggressively confronted Asif Nazrul at Geneva airport while chanting slogans like "Joy Bangla" and "Joy Bangabandhu."
