Bangladesh's Request for Hasina's Extradition Under 'Judicial, Legal Process'

India on Friday said that the Bangladesh government's request for extraditing former prime minister Sheikh Hasina is being examined as part of ongoing judicial and legal processes.

Hasina, 78, has been living in India after she fled Dhaka following the collapse of her government in August, 2024 in the face of a massive anti-government agitation. 

In his recent visit to



New Delhi, Bangladesh Foreign Minister Khalilur Rahman, during his talks with External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, had raised the issue of Dhaka's request to extradite Hasina.

"The request is being examined as part of ongoing judicial and internal legal processes. We will continue to engage constructively on the issue with all stakeholders," Jaiswal said at his weekly media briefing.
