India has not yet officially informed Bangladesh about the arrest of former NRB Global Bank Managing Director Proshanta Kumar Halder (PK), who fled Bangladesh after embezzling several thousand crores of taka. 

Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal on Sunday (May 15) made the comment while responding to a question from reporters after attending a seminar at the National Press Club.

The seminar titled "Sheikh Hasina's Homecoming: Reconstruction of History" organised by the Bangladesh Progressive Columnist Forum on Sunday.

Earlier on Saturday, PK Halder, his wife, two brothers and two others were arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED), the central intelligence agency of India, in a drive which was conducted in three houses of fish trader Sukumar Mridha at Asheknagar in North 24-Parganas.

Later, they were put on a 3-day remand.
