Former president Abdul Hamid has left Bangladesh, according to officials from the police Special Branch (SB).

Golam Rasul, chief of the SB, confirmed the departure, stating, “He went abroad early in the morning.”

A source within the SB reported that Hamid departed Dhaka for Bangkok on a Thai Airways flight at 3:05 a.m. on Thursday. He reportedly arrived at the airport around 11:00 p.m. on Wednesday and completed all necessary travel formalities prior to departure.
