Dhaka: Bangladesh on Monday demanded India extradite ousted former prime minister Sheikh Hasina, hours after she was sentenced to hang for crimes against humanity. Hasina's autocratic rule was backed by New Delhi, and the 78-year-old fled to India after her ouster in a mass uprising in August 2024, fraying relations between the two neighbours. She has been in hiding ever since.

Hasina is being tried in absentia for crimes against humanity for a violent crackdown on student protests last year.
