Hasina fled to New Delhi in August 2024 following a wave of violent protests that toppled her government. While she remains under Indian protection, the Bangladeshi government has renewed calls for her return, emphasizing the urgency of the legal proceedings tied to the unrest. Foreign Minister Khalilur Rahman confirmed that the request remains a primary point of discussion between the two nations.
Despite the International Crimes Tribunal issuing a death sentence against her, Hasina maintains she is ready to confront the charges on native soil. Her stated plan to return voluntarily complicates the extradition process, shifting the focus from a purely legal handover to a high-stakes political transition. New Delhi now balances its traditional ties with the former leader against the necessity of maintaining stable relations with the interim government in Bangladesh.
