A three-member inquiry committee headed by the Additional IG (Administration) has been formed in connection with the departure of former President Abdul Hamid to Thailand, reports UNB.

The Superintendent of Kishoreganj Police has also been withdrawn in the incident, said Faisal Hossain, public relation officer of Home Ministry on Thursday evening.

Earlier, an additional deputy commissioner of the Immigration Police withdrew and two other police officers suspended on the same ground.

Meanwhile, Home Affairs Adviser Lt. Gen (retd) Md Jahangir Alam Chowdhury vowed to step down if he fails to bring those who collaborated with the former president to leave the country to book.

Warning of strict actions, adviser Jahangir said no one will be spared who facilitated the former president's departure.

The former president left the country for Thailand through Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka early Thursday.

He made the remark in the face of questions from the students involved in the July Uprising when he was leaving the conference room of Dinajpur deputy commissioner after attending a meeting on law and order.

Warning of strict actions, adviser Jahangir said no one will be spared who facilitated the former president's departure.

"Of course, action will be taken. No one will be spared under any circumstances. Those involved in it must be punished," he said.

Asked if it does not happen, the adviser replied that he would resign.
