India cannot give deadline on Hasina's extradition to Bangladesh: envoy Dinesh Trivedi
- On Saturday, Indian High Commissioner to Bangladesh Dinesh Trivedi stated that Sheikh Hasina's extradition request is being examined through a "well-structured process" involving "legality," with no specific timeframe provided.
- Trivedi clarified that Hasina arrived in New Delhi as prime minister on August 5, 2024, fleeing "tragic circumstances" during the July Uprising, and India had "hardly any choice" but to grant refuge.
- Prime Minister Tarique Rahman's administration has repeatedly demanded Hasina be extradited to face justice for the 2024 crackdown that killed at least 800 civilians; a tribunal sentenced her to death in November 2025.
- Diplomatic ties remain strained, as Dhaka has linked a potential Rahman visit to New Delhi to creation of a "conducive environment," despite the two nations having signed an extradition treaty in 2013.
- Despite her 2025 death sentence, Hasina declared plans to return to Bangladesh this December, while the legal extradition framework remains the central mechanism for resolving this ongoing bilateral dispute.
