This was confirmed by his lawyer Daniel N Arshack.
The case is now over and Islam is free to travel, UNB said qouting Consul General in New York Md Shameem Ahsan on Wednesday.
His diplomatic passport has been returned by the court, Shameem said adding that he was present during the court hearing.
This follows the case filed by Ruhul Amin, former Domestic Aide of Islam.
On June 12 in 2017, the Bangladesh diplomat had been indicted on charges he forced a foreign servant to work for his family in Queens without pay and assaulted him on several occasions.
On the same day, Islam, who had limited diplomatic immunity, was ordered to surrender his passport when he appeared before Queens Supreme Court Justice Daniel Lewis.
