Bangladesh Considers Asking India To Extradition Ex-PM Hasina Who Is Now Facing Murder Cases

JAKARTA - Bangladesh is considering an extradition request against former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in connection with many cases including murder allegations.

Hasina fled to India after stepping down from the post of prime minister after the bloody riots in Bangladesh.

Bangladesh's foreign affairs official Mohammad Touhid Hossain said Hasina faced so many cases.

"If the interior ministry and the ministry of law decide, we should ask him to return to Bangladesh," he said.

Hasina left her country to India on August 5 after a violent uprising that left nearly 300 people killed, including many students.

Hasina was reported in two murder cases, along with senior members of her cabinet.

The court is currently in charge of a third case, investigations into ten people, including Hasina, for murder, torture and genocide during mass protests.

At least three former ministers and advisers to Hasina have been arrested in Bangladesh.
