Japanese mother gets custody of both daughters
Imran allegedly picked up his two eldest daughters on their way home from school in Japan and flew with them to Bangladesh three days after Nakano filed for a divorce in January 2021.
A Dhaka court passed the order in favour of the mother, following a long legal battle over custody between Japanese citizen Nakano Eriko and her Bangladeshi ex-husband.
