Bangladesh completes legal steps for Hasina's extradition, awaits India's decision

By News Desk — API··~1 min read

Bangladesh has completed its side of the legal process needed to bring former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina back from India, Law Minister Md Asaduzzaman said Saturday. The next step depends entirely on New Delhi, he told reporters, with extradition under their bilateral treaty serving as the formal mechanism for her return.

Hasina fled Bangladesh in August 2024 after a student uprising toppled her government. A tribunal sentenced her to death in November 2025 for ordering a police crackdown on protesters, with no appeal allowed under local law. India has received Bangladesh's extradition requests but has not yet made a decision public.
