Bangladesh has summoned a senior Indian diplomat posted in Dhaka to protest the treatment of an adviser to Prime Minister Tarique Rahman, who was reportedly detained and questioned for several hours at Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport. The adviser, Zahed Ur Rahman, was traveling to India on a government invitation but was not carrying a diplomatic passport, instead holding a regular Bangladeshi passport with a SAARC visa. The incident has escalated into a diplomatic row between the two neighboring countries, with Dhaka demanding an explanation for what it considers a breach of protocol.
