New Delhi has agreed to send back the prime suspect of the Naryanganj multiple murders Nur Hossain, foreign minister AH Mahmood Ali has told Parliament on Wednesday. Replying a query from Jatiya Party MP Pir Fazlur Rahman, he said: ‘The matter was discussed during the recent visit of the Indian foreign minister, Sushma Swaraj. The Indian government has agreed to extradite him.’ Hossain and his two accomplices were arrested from an apartment at Baguiati, not far from Kolkata’s Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport, on June 15. The Narayanganj City Ward-4 councillor was booked under Arms Act and Foreigners Act for illegal trespass into Indian territory without valid travel documents and for illegal possession of a weapon. All three are currently in police custody. His arrest was made nearly one and a half months after the 7-murder in Narayanganj that shook the country, according to bdnews24.com.
