NEW DELHI: The Indian high commissioner to Bangladesh on Saturday said Dhaka\u2019s extradition request for ousted ex-Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina was being legally examined, so New Delhi could not state a deadline for her return.\u201cNobody can give you a timeframe (over Hasina\u2019s return),\u201d High commissioner Dinesh Trivedi remarked during a discussion organised by a Dhaka-based think tank. PTI reported.\u201cAgain and again, the government of India has replied to this that there is a process, and the process is legal, and it is well structured,\u201d Trivedi added.Hasina sought asylum in India after a massive anti-establishment agitation led to the collapse of her government in August 2024.Trivedi said New Delhi had no role in Hasina\u2019s extraction. She was escorted by a Bangladeshi military detachment from her residence and brought to India through a Bangladeshi aircraft.\u201cAt that point in time, Hasina was still the prime minister of Bangladesh. We had hardly any choice on that\u201d, Trivedi said.Trivedi alleged the situation emerged because of \u201ctragic circumstances\u201d in Bangladesh, adding that such circumstances should never be repeated anywhere in the world.\u201cWhat was our choice?\u201d Trivedi asked, pointing at the uncertainty of the potential situation, had India denied entry to Hasina\u2019s aircraft.<\/p>\n

Strained ties<\/b><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

India-Bangladesh ties severely deteriorated after Hasina sought asylum in Delhi.Hasina was replaced by an interim government led by Mohammad Yunus, which repeatedly called for her extraction from India.During that 18-month interim rule, Hasina was tried in absentia by a special tribunal and sentenced to death; her Awami League party was also disbanded.Following the February 12 elections, Tarique Rahman’s Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) came to power. Its government endorsed the ban on Hasina’s party and repeatedly renewed the demand for her extradition.However, relations never fully recovered despite a new government in Bangladesh.They were strained further when Hasina addressed a virtual press conference from New Delhi on 5 August 2026, the second anniversary of her removal from power. Bangladesh’s foreign ministry had earlier said that the atmosphere for Rahman’s visit had been “vitiated” by Hasina’s virtual press interaction.India has maintained that it had no role in the media event and that it does not endorse anything said at the forum about the Bangladesh government.<\/p>\n
