Bangladesh’s Foreign Affairs Adviser Md Touhid Hossain announced that the government will formally request India to extradite Sheikh Hasina and Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal under the existing bilateral extradition treaty. Speaking to reporters at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Monday, Hossain said both individuals have been convicted and sentenced by Bangladeshi courts, and therefore, the government is obligated to seek their return. He declined to comment on the legal intricacies or the likelihood of India’s response, emphasizing that legal experts would better address those aspects. Hossain added that Bangladesh will communicate officially through diplomatic channels and that the matter could be raised during the upcoming visit of the National Security Adviser to New Delhi if deemed necessary. He reiterated that both convicted individuals must be requested for extradition under the treaty framework.
