India is examining a request from Bangladesh for the extradition of the country’s former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, the Indian foreign ministry spokesperson said on Wednesday.
The request – first made in December and reiterated this month after Hasina was sentenced to death for her role in the killing of student protesters last year – was being examined in India as part of ongoing internal judicial and legal processes, he said.
Hasina fled to India in August 2024 at the height of the protests.
