Meanwhile, the UK expatriate, Jamila Chowdhury, told reporters that her husband, who was staying in London, said her child was ill, which is why she is anxious and upset.
On July 28, Jamila Chowdhury was supposed to be a passenger of a direct flight from Sylhet to London, BG-201 of Bangladesh Biman. She alleged that she could not go to the UK that day due to the disrespectful and unjust behavior of some officials at Osmani Airport.
