In a swap deal for Anup Chetia's deportation India hands over Bangladesh's most wanted

Kolkata, Nov 13 (IBNS) In a swap deal for getting the custody of top ULFA leader Anup Chetia, India on Thursday deported a man wanted in Bangladesh for the murder of seven people in April 2014, reports said.

He had been arrested in Kolkata last June for illegal entry.

Nur Hossain was released from the Dum Dum central jail in Kolkata at around 6pm. Five hours later, at the Petrapole border check post about 70 km away, the Border Guard, Bangladesh, took him into custody.

Media reports said the  Centre had  told West Bengal government to drop charges against Hossain on Monday,  two days before Chetia was flown to Delhi from Dhaka.

The charges were dropped at a district court which ordered his deportation by Sunday, November 15.

Hossain is one of the 34 people charged with the murder of seven people including politicians and senior lawyers. The victims were kidnapped on April 27 and a few days later, their bodies were found floating in a river.
