ISLAMABAD:

Pakistan Foreign Office on Thursday contacted the Bangladesh High Commission, seeking clarification on Bangladeshi security agencies harassing Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) crew and passengers.

According to private media quoting PIA sources, Bangladeshi intelligence officers have been harassing the PIA crew  for the past two months.

On Wednesday, PIA flight PK-266 was delayed for three hours due to security checks.

PIA Station Manager Ali Abbass was also held by the security forces in Bangladesh and was later deported to Pakistan.

Several raids have also been conducted on the houses of PIA officials on suspicion of smuggling fake currency.
