Days after Bangladesh issued a note verbale to India seeking the extradition of its former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to face genocide charges in Dhaka, the country announced plans to send a follow-up note verbale.

Bangladesh has told neighbour India that it wants former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who fled to New Delhi in August, back in the country for "judicial process", the acting head of the country's foreign ministry said on Monday.

Sanjeeb Wazed's allegations came two days after the interim govt said it has sent a diplomatic note to New Delhi seeking Hasina's extradition from India.

India also has the option of refusing Hasina’s extradition on the ground that the accusations made against her are not “in good faith in the interests of justice”, although this may further strain ties between New Delhi and Dhaka.

India received a note verbale from Bangladesh in connection with an extradition request for Sheikh Hasina, the ousted prime minister of India's neighbouring country where a caretaker government is in charge,

The interim government in Bangladesh has sent a diplomatic note and urged India to send deposed Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina back to Dhaka. The 77-year-old Awami League leader has been living in India since August 5 when she fled Bangladesh amid massive protests that brought down her 16-year-old regime and forced her to flee.

Bangladesh on Monday sent a note verbale — a formal diplomatic communication — to New Delhi requesting Hasina's return to face "judicial proceedings" in her home country.

The interim leader of the country was ‘weaponising the judiciary’, alleged Sajeeb Wazed a day after Dhaka stated it had sought Hasina’s extradition.
