These (please see 7 photographs in the attachment) worm like animals are found in the vermicomposting ( Eudrilus eugeniae) bed in Bangladesh. I am confused about their identity. I shall be happy if anybody please help me to identify this animal.
not necessarily. Earthworm-eating platyhelminths are usually invasive species, so removal from the ecosystem is usually benefitial. In addition, having a predator feeding on your "stock" warrants its removal, regardless of it being part of the ecosystem. You don't allow wolves or cougars roaming within your barn, why would you do the same with an species that feeds on the animals you are using for production?
It's not like Csaba Csuzdi asked him to exterminate them everywhere. Just from his compost beds.
You may ask Csaba Csuzdi from Eszterházy Károly Egyetem, Hungary. He definitely can help you identifying this worm found in the vermicomposting culture, which is also interesting for me to know.

As you have attached the pictures of earthworm for identification but I think it is not an easy task to identify the earthworm through their pictures. You, please preserve the earthworm species and diagnose their taxonomic characters by referring to some earthworm taxonomic keys.
Thanks for your response. I did not say that they are earthworms. I wrote, " These (please see 7 photographs in the attachment) worm like animals are found in the vermicomposting ( Eudrilus eugeniae) bed in Bangladesh."
