The interim government will ask India to extradite ousted prime minister Sheikh Hasina once the trial of mass killing begins, said Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs Adviser Dr Asif Nazrul.
He made the comment at a press briefing at Foreign Service Academy in the city on Thursday evening.
“Bangladesh has extradition treaty with India and as per the treaty, we can seek extradition of any convicted person, might be he/she is a former prime minister or anyone,” he said.
The interim government will inform the media about its step to ensure justice in mass killing and crimes against humanity carried out during the student-people revolution.
He added that an investigation team has been formed to this end and the work is underway for reconstitution of the court to start the trial soon.
“Once the trial begins, we will definitely seek extradition of Sheikh Hasina,” the law adviser said.
