NEW DELHI, 16 August 2026 (TON); Three suspects in the Hadi case were arrested in India in March and remain in judicial custody in West Bengal; India has agreed to extradite them to Bangladesh following due process. The matter was also raised by Rahman during his meeting with Indian High Commissioner Dinesh Trivedi last week, during which he separately sought Hasina's extradition.
After the meeting with Trivedi, Bangladesh Foreign Minister Khalilur Rahman said the BRICS invitation was not extended to the prime minister personally but was "addressed to the chairperson of BIMSTEC" an international grouping of seven countries, including Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Myanmar, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Thailand, of which Bangladesh currently holds the chairmanship.
However, India's Ministry of External Affairs said on August 14: "We have extended an invitation to the Prime Minister of Bangladesh for a bilateral visit. We've also extended an invitation to the prime minister of Bangladesh for a visit to India for the outreach session of the BRICS Summit."
