Bangladesh court made Sheikh Hasina accused of murder, will India hand over to the former PM?

In Bangladesh’s International Crime Tribunal, a crime against humanity in a case of crime against humanity was formally framed on Thursday (July 10, 2025) in his absence. The special tribunal has set the date of the onset of the trial on August 3.

A three-member committee headed by Justice Ghulam Murtuja Mojumdar accused Hasina, former Home Minister Asaduzman Khan and former police chief Chaudhary Abdullah al-Mamoon on five charges. According to the AFP report, Hasina and Khan are being prosecuted in their absence.

Charges framed against 3 main people

The prosecution counsel told reporters, “Bangladesh International Crime Tribunal (ICT-BD) has also framed charges against Sheikh Hasina as well as home minister during his rule, Asdujman Khan Kamal and (erstwhile) Inspector General of Police (IGP) Chaudhary Abdullah al Mamoon.”

Allegations of massacre, murder and torture also

The three have ordered a crime against humanity for their efforts to suppress the protests led by students in July-August last year. The prosecutors said that Hasina has also been accused of massacres, murder and torture to suppress the rebellion against Hasina.

He said that the only present accused Mamoon was produced before the court, where he has accepted his crime. The remaining two accused, Sheikh Hasina and Asdujman Khan, will be prosecuted. Sheikh Hasina moved to India on August 5, 2024 after the Awami League government was overthrown due to the violent student agitation last year.

The Yunus government has demanded the extradition of Sheikh Hasina from India

Let me tell you that earlier Bangladesh acting Mohammad Yunus government on Wednesday urged India to take care of “Vivek and Ethics” in dealing with Sheikh Hasina’s extradition request. In December last year, Bangladesh wrote a letter to India requesting the extradition of Sheikh Hasina. Although India had told about getting a formal diplomatic letter, but no response was given to it.
