Bangladesh Requests India to Extradite Former PM Sheikh Hasina

The interim government accuses Hasina of crimes during her 15-year rule and seeks her return for judicial proceedings.

Sheikh Hasina, Bangladesh's ousted prime minister, has been living in India since fleeing on August 5 following student-led protests that ended her 16-year regime.
The interim government, led by Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus, has formally requested Hasina's extradition through a diplomatic note to India's Ministry of External Affairs.
Hasina faces multiple charges, including crimes against humanity and corruption, with arrest warrants issued by Bangladesh's International Crimes Tribunal.
India's Ministry of External Affairs has confirmed receiving the extradition request but has not commented on its stance or future actions.
Tensions between India and Bangladesh have grown, with India raising concerns over attacks on minorities in Bangladesh and Hasina criticizing the interim government from her refuge in New Delhi.
