India is currently weighing an extradition request from Bangladesh concerning former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. The request follows a death sentence handed down to her for alleged crimes against humanity amid last year's student protests.
Hasina, a prominent figure of the Awami League, has been living in India since August last year after escaping large-scale demonstrations in Bangladesh.
The Indian Ministry of External Affairs stated that the request is under judicial review, reinforcing India's commitment to supporting peace, democracy, and stability in Bangladesh.
