A Dhaka court has placed on a six-day remand to a former Saudi Embassy employee, who allegedly threatened the mission's charge d'affaires.
Metropolitan Magistrate Mohammad Moniruzzaman passed the order on Saturday, Anisur Rahman, Additional Deputy Commissioner of the Information and Prosecution Department of Police, told bdnews24.com.
The Detective Branch (DB) of police had arrested 56-year-old A N M Abdur Rashid, a Bangladeshi national, from the city's Banasree area on Friday night.
Police said that Rashid had sent a threatening SMS to the Saudi Ambassador and the Deputy Ambassador on Jun 20.
Jashim Uddin, the Legal Affairs Advisor of the Saudi Embassy, had filed a general diary with the Gulshan Police Station in this connection.
Rashid told reporters that he had been the interpreter of the Saudi embassy for 15 years, but the embassy fired him on May 21 after accusing him of corruption.
He admitted that he sent the message out of anger.
The alleged threat comes three months after a Saudi Embassy official was killed by unidentified assailants in Dhaka.
