Bangladesh has renewed its demand for the extradition of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina from India, with Law Minister Md Asaduzzaman confirming that Dhaka has formally sought her return under the bilateral extradition treaty. Speaking to reporters in Dhaka on Sunday, Asaduzzaman described Hasina as a “convicted criminal” and said the government would follow legal procedures to bring her back. Hasina fled to India on August 5, 2024, after a mass uprising ended her 15-year rule. In November 2025, a Bangladesh tribunal convicted her in absentia of crimes against humanity and sentenced her to death on one charge. India is examining the extradition request. (PC: India Today)
