India has received the request for extradition of ousted former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina from Dhaka, the Ministry of External Affairs confirmed on Friday.<\/p>\n
“We had confirmed that we have received request from Bangladeshi side on Hasina’s extradition. Beyond that I have nothing further to add,” MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said in the weekly briefing today.<\/p>\n
This development comes after Bangladesh’s interim government, led by Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus, sent a diplomatic note to India’s Foreign Ministry requesting Hasina’s extradition.<\/p>\n
Sheikh Hasina, 77, has been living in India since August 5, after fleeing Bangladesh following a massive student-led protest that toppled her 16-year regime. Hasina is currently facing multiple court cases related to fatalities during her rule, including accusations of crimes against humanity.<\/p>\n
Bangladesh’s International Crimes Tribunal has issued arrest warrants for Hasina and several former Cabinet ministers, advisers, and military and civil officials.<\/p>\n
Speaking further, Jaiswal also emphasised for the fair trial for those, who have been arrested in Bangladesh.<\/p>\n
“We expect that those people who have been arrested in Bangladesh must get a fair trial and this is our appeal,” the MEA spokesperson said.<\/p>\n
Recently, a court in Chittagong on Thursday refused bail to Chinmoy Krishna Das, a former ISKCON leader, following the hearing held amid tight security today, The Daily Star reported.<\/p>\n
The bail request was turned down by Metropolitan Sessions Judge Md Saiful Islam after hearing both parties’ arguments, according to Metropolitan Public Prosecutor Advocate Mofizur Haque Bhuiyan.<\/p>\n
Chinmoy Das, who is the spokesperson of Sammilita Sanatani Jagrani Jote, was arrested on November 25 last year in charge of sedition.<\/p>\n
