India to Decide on Ex-PM Hasina's Extradition Through Courts, Not Politics

New Delhi. India has stated that its court will decide whether to extradite Bangladesh's ousted former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. India has clarified that the final decision will be made by the court, not at the political level, as Bangladesh is again increasing pressure for Hasina's extradition. However, Indian officials have said that efforts are also being made to resolve this sensitive issue through diplomatic channels.

According to Indian government officials, Bangladesh's extradition request must go through the court process. In that process, it will be important whether the charges against Hasina are also extraditable offenses under Indian law.
