India has nothing to say new about Hasina`s extradition

India has said it has ‘nothing to add at this point’ regarding Bangladesh's interim government's request for the extradition of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) Spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said this at the weekly media briefing in New Delhi on Friday.

“A week back, I had confirmed that we had received a communication from the Bangladesh authorities in respect to former PM Sheikh Hasina. Further than that, I have nothing to add at this point in time,” he said.

Bangladesh submitted an extradition request through a Note Verbale on December 21, 2024, via its High Commission in New Delhi. However, experts consider this diplomatic tool too informal for sensitive matters like extradition.

Meanwhile, on the denial of bail by Bangladesh court to Chinmoy Krishna Das, a Hindu monk and spokesperson of the Bangladesh Sammilit Sanatan Jagran Jote, the MEA spokesperson said India hopes the individuals will get a fair trial in the neighbouring country.
