Dhaka: Shahreen Ahmed, one of the injured passengers of the crashed US-Bangla Airlines aircraft, arrived here on Thursday afternoon from Kathmandu, Nepal.

She was admitted to the burn and plastic surgery unit of Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH). She is now being treated at its ICU.

‘I’m going back to Dhaka to continue my treatment. There’s no point to get stuck here on a foreign land,’ Shahreen told reporters from hospital bed in Kathmandu just before her departure.

Her brother accompanied her in the Biman flight which landed in Dhaka at 3:40pm on Thursday, reports the UNB.

Responding to a question, Shahreen who suffered burn injuries said, ‘Almighty Allah saved me. Rescuers pulled me out from the aircraft.’

Besides, two other injured—Eakub Ali and Emrana Kabir Hashi—will be taken to India soon, according to the External Publicity Wing of Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Thursday.

Severely injured Mehedi Hasan, Saiyada Kamrunnahar Shwarna and Almun Nahar Annie, will be brought to Bangladesh by their relatives.

In this regard, no objection certificates (NOCs) have already been issued for them, it added.

Besides, three severely burnt injured were taking treatment at Kathmandu Medical College Hospital.

Earlier on Wednesday, Rezwanul Haque, a severely burnt passenger of crashed US-Bangla Airlines flight, was sent to Singapore for better treatment.

Meanwhile, the Nepalese Home Ministry has ‘corrected’ the number of deaths in the crash of US-Bangla aircraft saying the death toll is 49.

Quoting a statement of the Nepalese Home Ministry, the Kathmandu Post on Thursday said 49 people, including crew members, were killed in the crash.

Of the dead, 22 were Nepalese, 26 Bangladeshis and one Chinese, reads the report.

Earlier, the ministry had put the death toll at 51, the Kathmandu Post claimed.

On the other hand, Civil Aviation Authority, Bangladesh (CAAB) chairman Air Vice Marshal M Naim Hassan has said it might take more than one year to complete the investigation into the US-Bangla plane crash.

‘Normally, investigation into any plane crash takes one year,’ said the CAAB chairman while talking to reporters at his office on Thursday.

As the plane crash took place in Nepal, they are investigating the incident and a Bangladesh team will assist them, he said.

Naim Hassan said, ‘The Black Box will be sent to Canada, while other parts of the aircraft will be tested. It’ll take time to complete all the formalities.’

It is not possible to set a fixed time to end the probe, he said.

The identification process of the deceased is underway, and it will be completed soon. The autopsy of the 19 bodies has already been completed, said the Caab chairman.

US-Bangla Airlines flight BS211, which flew from Dhaka to Kathmandu carrying 67 passengers and four crew members, crashed at Tribhuvan International Airport in the capital of Himalayan country of Nepal on Monday, leaving 49 people, including 26 Bangladeshis, dead.
