Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and PM Modi.
NEW DELHI (SCMP): India’s erstwhile close relations with Bangladesh are coming under strain as Dhaka pushes for the extradition of former prime minister Sheikh Hasina to face accusations of “atrocities” during her rule.
Hasina fled to India by helicopter on August 5 as student-led protests toppled her 15-year rule marked by widespread accusations of election rigging to maintain her hold on power and human rights violations such as extrajudicial killings and enforced disappearances.
