The Saudi authorities had already started the process to transfer the money, M Shahadat Hossain Taslim, the president of Hajj Agencies Association of Bangladesh or HAAB, told bdnews24.com on Tuesday.
Naser said they received a letter from HAAB that said their ticket money would be refunded in a few days.
“We demanded a refund of the rest of the money within 15 working days,” he added.
