Bir Bahadur Rai, who left his home in Ilam, Nepal, some four decades ago, and has been living in Bangladesh for about 40 years, returned home on Thursday (23 May) afternoon.
He was handed over to his family members by the Embassy officials.
"We thank all those who supported Rai during his stay in Bangladesh, brought his case to the notice of the Embassy, and followed up consistently for his repatriation," said the Nepalese Embassy in Dhaka.
"We also thank the government authorities of both Nepal and Bangladesh for their prompt and positive response in the lead up to his successful repatriation," it said.
