Shaban Mahmud, serving as First Secretary (Press) at the Bangladesh High Commission in New Delhi was asked to resign before the end of his contract, reported NDTV.

According to the Indian news channel, the other diplomat was  Ranjan Sen.

Sen reportedly served in the same capacity in the Bangladeshi Consulate in Kolkata.

Bangladesh witnessed a massive political vacuum when former Awami League-led government collapsed amid violent protests over the job quota issue which soon spiralled into a movement against former PM Sheikh Hasina.

In the face of demonstrations, Sheikh Hasina fled to India on August 5, ending her tenure just months after she returned to power in Bangladesh after winning the general polls.

Meanwhile, another murder case has been filed against Sheikh Hasina over the death of a 19-year-old college student Mahmudur Rahman Saikat.

The case was filed by the deceased student's father  Md Mahabubur Rahman on Sunday.

The other accused in the case include former home minister Asaduzzaman Khan, former textiles and jute minister Jahangir Kabir Nanak, former information state minister Mohammad A Arafat, and former police chief Chowdhury Abdullah Al-Mamun, reported Dhaka Tribune.
