Bodies of Bangladeshi workers reach Dhaka from Malaysia

Bodies of the three Bangladeshi construction workers, who died in Malaysia on Monday, have reached Dhaka.

Armed Police Battalion's Senior Assistant Superintendent Md Motazzer Hossain said that a Biman Bangladesh Airlines flight, carrying the bodies, landed at Dhaka around 7am on Monday.

"The bodies have been handed over to the relatives after necessary official procedures," said Manpower, Employment and Training Bureau's Deputy Director Jahid Anwar.

The three died when a 490 tonne concrete span collapsed  and buried them at a worksite of the under-construction Mass Rapid Transit Corporation (MRT Corp) on Monday night at Kota Damansara in Petaling Jaya, Selangor.

Those killed were identified as Mohammad Elahi Hossain, Mohamed Faruk Khan and Mohammad Alauddin Mollick.

Hossain's body was recovered the same day from the rubble while the two other bodies  were pulled out the next day.
