Five Bangladeshi nationals released Tuesday by Afghan Taliban kidnappers will return to Dhaka Sunday morning, according to foreign ministry.
All of them are safe and in good health in the Mazar-i-Sharif compound of Samwon, the South Korean company that employed them.
The five Bangladeshis are Md Aminul Islam and Md Shafiqul Alam from Kalihati and Md Lovelu Rahman from Chowdhury Malancho in Tangail district, Mahabub Ali from Charghat in Rajshahi, and Md Imam Uddin from Rangunia in Chittagong.
Foreign ministry external publicity wing director general Shamim Ahsan said Thursday that Bangladesh ambassador to Uzbekistan Muhammad Imran would see them off in Kabul.
They are expected to reach Dhaka by an Emirates flight at about 8:40am on Tuesday, he said.
In December 17 last, an armed group of the Taliban stormed a remote road construction camp of Samwon in Mazar-i-Sharif, shot dead a Bangladeshi engineer, and kidnapped seven of the 17 Bangladeshi workers employed there.
The kidnappers released two of the workers after two days.
