India is currently reviewing Bangladesh’s formal request to extradite former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who fled to India following a deadly student-led uprising last year. Indian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal confirmed during a press briefing in New Delhi that the request is being examined as part of ongoing judicial and internal legal procedures. He emphasized India’s commitment to peace, democracy, inclusivity, and stability in Bangladesh. Dhaka’s Foreign Affairs Adviser Md. Touhid Hossain stated that Bangladesh has yet to receive a response from India after sending the latest diplomatic note through its mission. The request follows a November 17 verdict by Bangladesh’s International Crimes Tribunal, which sentenced Hasina and former Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan to death for crimes against humanity committed during the 2023 uprising. This marks the third formal extradition appeal by Bangladesh under the bilateral extradition treaty, as Dhaka awaits New Delhi’s official reply.
