Dhaka, May 11: Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal has said that it is not impossible to bring back Arav Khan, the gold trader and the accused in the police murder case discussed in Dubai. After inaugurating the Bangabandhu Corner at the Police Staff College on Wednesday (May 10) afternoon, the Home Minister said, in response to a question from the journalists, nothing is impossible. There is nothing that Bangladesh cannot do.
Rabiul Islam alias Arav Khan, the absconding accused in the police officer Mamun Khan murder case, is currently staying in Dubai. On Tuesday (May 9), the court sentenced Rabiul Islam alias Arav Khan to 10 years rigorous imprisonment in a case filed under the Arms Act.
