Eighty-one Bangladeshis, who had been stranded in Vietnam and returned home by a chartered flight two weeks ago, were arrested and sent to jail today, after completion of a 14-day quarantine.

They were arrested under section 54 of Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) for "being involved in various crimes in Vietnam", said Asmaul Husna, a sub-inspector of Turag Police Station.
