Foreign Affairs Adviser Md Touhid Hossain on Tuesday Bangladesh sought extradition of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina following legal aspects and subsequent court’s order but did not get any reply from the Indian side.

“We have followed the legal aspect that we have and we have asked them to return her as per the court's order. Let them look into it. They are yet to reply. Let them look into it from their side,” he said while responding to a question at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. 

Bangladesh sent a diplomatic note (note verbale) to India in December last year, along with a set of supporting documents, formally requesting Hasina's extradition.

Explaining Hasina's presence in India and its impacts on bilateral relations, Indian Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri recently said this is a ‘judicial legal process’ and it requires ‘engagement and consultations’ between the two governments.

"We are examining these issues. We look forward to working together with Bangladesh authorities on these issues," he said while responding to a question during an interaction with the members of Diplomatic Correspondents Association, Bangladesh (DCAB) at the Indian Ministry of External Affairs.

Beyond that, the Indian Foreign Secretary said, he does not think it would be constructive to say anything further at this point.

Hasina fled Bangladesh to India on August 5 last year in the face of massive student-led protests. Bangladesh is waiting for a response from New Delhi.

The International Crimes Tribunal will set a date for the verdict in the crimes against humanity case against Hasina and other top officials of her government for their alleged role in suppressing the July Uprising on Nov 13.
