A Biman jet is flying the victims' remains back to Bangladesh

The bodies of five Bangladeshi migrants killed in a road crash have left Qatar for Bangladesh.

Their remains are scheduled to arrive in Bangladesh on Tuesday morning.

The dead are Mostak Ahmad Afnan, 30, Zubayer Ahmad, 30, Jasim Uddin, 30, Jibal Ahmed, 36, and Qadir Ahmed, 24.

According to a statement issued on Monday by the labour welfare wing of the Bangladesh Embassy in Qatar, the bodies will be flown from Doha's Hamad International Airport at 10:15pm local time on Monday on a Biman Bangladesh Airlines flight.

The flight is expected to land at MAG Osmani International Airport in Sylhet at 6:50am on Tuesday.

The five Bangladeshis were killed in a road accident in Qatar's Al Shahaniya on May 21 while travelling to work in a pickup van.

The vehicle lost control, killing six people at the scene, including an Indian national. The bodies had since been kept at a local hospital morgue in Qatar.
