In a significant diplomatic development, Bangladesh has formally requested India to extradite former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina back to Dhaka for judicial proceedings. This move comes after Ms Hasina fled to India following massive protests that led to her ouster earlier this year. The request, made through a diplomatic note verbale, underscores increasing tensions between the two neighboring countries. With Ms Hasina accused of multiple serious charges including murder and crimes against humanity, the situation complicates India-Bangladesh relations further.
