"Once the investigation committee submits their report, strict legal action will be taken against those responsible," Rowshan Kabir added.
When asked whether the employees were trying to sell the tyres, he said, "Everything will come out once the investigation is complete."
Airport police station Officer-in-Charge Taslima Akter told TBS, "Biman Bangladesh filed a general diary about the aircraft tyres. This is not a theft case; it mainly involves one party allowing another to use the tyres. An exchange was made with another airline. We will investigate the matter."
US-Bangla Airlines spokesperson Kamrul Islam declined to comment.
