A viral video showing Bangladeshi migrant workers returning from Saudi Arabia with cut and damaged luggage at Dhaka’s Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport has prompted an official clarification. The airport’s Executive Director, S.M. Ragib Samad, stated that the incident occurred on November 14, when 78 Bangladeshi citizens arrived on an Ethiopian Airlines flight after being repatriated from Saudi Arabia. Many passengers found their bags torn and belongings missing, leading to anger and confrontation with airline staff. Authorities explained that these ‘out-pass’ passengers had their belongings collectively booked by Saudi immigration, making it difficult to identify individual items. Additionally, Saudi immigration police reportedly confiscated some items without providing a list to the airline. The airport authority said similar incidents have occurred recently and that the matter has been communicated to Saudi authorities for resolution.
