India receives extradition request for outed Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina from Bangladesh: Reports
New Delhi/IBNS: India has received a verbal note from Bangladesh in connection with an extradition request for ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, NDTV quoting sources reported.
"We confirm that we have received a note verbale from the Bangladesh High Commission today in connection with an extradition request. At this time, we have no comment to offer on this matter," NDTV quoted the source as saying said.
A note verbale is an unsigned diplomatic message in the third person.
Earlier, today, Bangladesh's de facto Foreign Minister Touhid Hossain said Dhaka wants Ms Hasina back to face trial. "We have sent a note verbale to the Indian government saying that Bangladesh wants her back here for the judicial process," Hossain told reporters in Dhaka.
However. India's Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has not commented on the matter.
Hasina, 77, left her country on August 5 following massive protests that toppled her 16-year regime.
The Bangladesh-based International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) has issued arrest warrants for against Hasina, her former ministers, advisers, and military and civil officials over "crimes against humanity and genocide".
Bangladesh Home Adviser Jahangir Alam said his office sent a letter to the MEA to allow Ms Hasina's extradition from India.
