Bangladesh has sent necessary documents to India to bring back former prime minister Sheikh Hasina under the existing extradition treaty.

Rafiqul Alam, spokesperson of the foreign affairs ministry, made the disclosure in a weekly briefing at the ministry on Thursday.

Sheikh Hasina fled to India after being ousted from power on 5 August. The interim government now seeks to bring her back to face trial over the killings in July and August.

In this regard, the spokesperson said necessary documents were sent to New Delhi from Dhaka. Now, the government will wait for diplomatic and political response over the issue.

He further noted that it is up to the government’s high level to decide if the international process will be followed to extradite other Awami League leaders currently staying in India.

Meanwhile, the spokesperson welcomed the UN fact-finding mission’s report, saying it would shake the conscience of any person. He expressed hope that neighbouring India would consider the report and cooperate with Bangladesh on the issue.​

Bringing Hasina to justice top priority: Shafiqul

Chief Adviser's Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam yesterday said bringing Sheikh Hasina back to Bangladesh and putting her on trial in person is the government's top priority.

"We want to bring her back and put her on trial in person. The people of Bangladesh want to see her trial. Bringing her to justice is our top priority," he said in response to a question whether her trial would be held in absentia.

Speaking at a briefing at the Foreign Service Academy in the capital, Shafiqul Alam said Hasina has been accused of committing crimes against humanity in the recently published UN rights report.

"A huge pressure is being created [on India to extradite Sheikh Hasina] following the UN report and other reports from some human rights groups," he said.

Referring to a recent survey conducted by India Today, the press secretary said 55 percent of Indians support Sheikh Hasina's extradition to Bangladesh, a certain percentage want her sent to a third country and only 16-17 percent of Indians want she should be allowed to stay in India.

Shafiqul also said the interim government will form a high-powered committee soon to investigate and prepare a white paper on corruption and irregularities in the ICT sector during the Awami League regime. "This committee will present a white paper within two months," he said.

He said the media ran many reports over a huge corruption and irregularities took place in the ICT ministry and the name of digitalisation and Digital Bangladesh.

Sheikh Hasina and Tulip Siddiq

The Anti-Corruption Commission has started the process to bring back deposed prime minister Sheikh Hasina and her niece Tulip Siddiq, said its commissioner Brigadier General, retd, Hafiz Ahsan Farid on Tuesday.

‘We have started the work. The ACC has started the process of bringing them back,’ he said while talking to reporters at the ACC office in Segunbagicha in Dhaka.

After the interim government took office, several cases were filed against Sheikh Hasina and her family members on charges of murder, enforced disappearances, corruption, fraud and abuse of power.

The ACC filed six cases against Sheikh Hasina and her family members on charges of abusing power and forgery in obtaining 60 katha plots of 10 katha each in a RAJUK housing project.

When asked about bringing former UK minister Tulip Siddiq back to the country, Hafiz Ahsan said, ‘We have sent documents from here to the home ministry which is called a Mutual Legal Assistance Request (MLAR).’

‘It will go to the foreign embassy through the foreign affairs ministry. From there it will go to the Bangladesh embassy. We have started that work. The ACC has started the process of bringing them back,’ he added.

Regarding the return of Tulip Siddiq, he said he could not tell about the legal process of how to bring her back to the country.

‘A case has been filed against her as a Bangladeshi citizen,’ he said.

Mentioning Tulip as a Bangladeshi NID and passport holder, he added, ‘The letters given to her have been sent to her Bangladeshi address. We do not consider her a foreign citizen. When the case was filed she was staying abroad. Initiatives will be taken to bring her back.’

‘We are at the stage of agreements with various international anti-corruption agencies. We will get help from them once the deal is done,’ he said.​

The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has said it will move to issue arrest warrants through Interpol to bring back to Bangladesh deposed prime minister Sheikh Hasina and seven members of her family accused in a corruption case over land allocation.

They face charges involving the allocation of plots in the Purbachal project of Rajdhani Unnayan Kartripakkha (RAJUK), according to bdnews24.com.

In addition to Hasina, her son Sajeeb Wazed Joy, daughter Saima Wazed Putul, sister Sheikh Rehana, nephew Radwan Mujib Siddique, nieces Tulip Siddique and Azmina Siddique Ruponti are among the accused.

The court has already permitted the issuance of an Interpol arrest warrant for Putul, and officials said appeals will be filed against the others soon.

ACC Director General Akhtar Hossain told bdnews24.com, “Within the legal framework, investigating officers have full freedom to issue red alerts, arrest warrants, or take other legal action against anyone found to be involved in an investigation.”

Six cases were filed against Hasina and her family members in January on charges of obtaining plots in the Purbachal New Town project of RAJUK through “abuse of power and irregularities”.

The anti-graft agency is also submitting charge sheets in those cases.

The Awami League’s 15-year rule ended on Aug 5, 2024, following a

mass uprising led by students and the public.

After stepping down as prime minister, Hasina fled to India, where she has remained since.

Putul currently serves as the regional director of the World Health Organization’s South-East Asia Regional Office (WHO SEARO) and is in India for her duties, while Joy has been living in the US for many years.

When Hasina fled to India, there were reports that her sister Rehana accompanied her, but there has been no confirmation of her current whereabouts.

Rehana’s children are British citizens—Tulip is a British MP, Ruponti also lives in London, and Radwan, who was in Dhaka before the uprising, is believed to have left the country.

Arrest warrants have been issued in multiple of the six cases filed against them.

The International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) has also issued a warrant against Hasina on charges including genocide and enforced disappearance.

Bangladesh has requested India to return Hasina under the existing extradition treaty, but there has been no official response.

Following the fall of the Awami League government, the ACC launched an investigation on Dec 26, 2024, into alleged irregularities in the allocation of six plots in the Purbachal New Town project registered in the names of Hasina and five family members.

The 0.02-hectare plots were allocated in the names of Hasina, Joy, Putul, Rehana, Bobby, and Ruponti in the area around Road No. 203 in the diplomatic zone of Sector No. 27 of the Purbachal New Town project.​
