Foreign Office says that a Pakistani school principal, who was in protective custody of police in Dhaka, is being taken care by the country’s High Commission in Bangladesh.
Yasmeen, the Principal of City School in Dhaka, was taken into protective custody by Dhaka police in view of the law and order situation created due to misunderstanding between school administration and students parents.
Some media reports had claimed that Yasmeen was illegally detained and her passport was confiscated.
Clarifying the reports, FO spokesman Nafees Zakaria said the matter was resolved amicably.

“According (to) Pak Hi (High) Commission in Dhaka the matter has been amicably resolved. Principal is being taken care of by the Hi (High) Commission,” Zakaria wrote on Twitter.
It is not clear what caused the law and order situation in the school but ties between the two countries were strained after the execution of Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh leader Moti-ur-Rehman Nizami.
Pakistan strongly condemned the execution and accused Bangladesh of killing opposition leaders through “flawed trials”.
Islamabad also summoned Bangladesh’s envoy to lodge the protest.
