Pakistan has reportedly withdrawn a female diplomat from its high commission in Dhaka following allegations of financing terrorist activities in Bangladesh, the Daily Star has claimed in a report on Wednesday.
According to the report, the step came two days after the Bangladesh government asked Pakistan informally to withdraw the diplomat.
“Farina Arshad, second secretary (political) at the Pakistan High Commission in Bangladesh, was withdrawn today,” the Star said, quoting a senior Bangladeshi Foreign Ministry official.
According to the Daily Star report, the Bangladesh authorities made the move after an arrested militant confessed his link with the envoy before a Dhaka court two weeks ago.
Jama’atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) operative Idris Sheikh was arrested on November 29 in the capital and he made the confessional statement on December 6, the report said.
According to a top Detective Branch (DB) official investigating the case, Idris in the statement said he got a ride from the diplomat in her car from Baitul Mukarram to Fakirapool and received Tk 30,000 from her.
Idris had conversations with the diplomat several times over mobile phone between June and July this year, the report claimed, but added that the suspected militant did not disclose the details of his dealings with Farina and why she gave him the money.
The official quoting Idris’ statement said he got acquainted to Pakistani citizen Kamal, who allegedly identified himself as an ISI agent, through one Babul, who had settled in Pakistan. When Kamal left Bangladesh in 2012, he gave Idris a mobile phone number saying that the owner of the number would look after all his business dealings with Babul.
When Idris called, he learnt the number belonged to the diplomat.
In January this year, Mazhar Khan, a Pakistani official working at the Dhaka mission, was expelled after Bangladesh intelligence accused him of funding Islamist radicals and peddling fake currency, the report stated.
