Retired justice AHM Shamsuddin Chowdhury Manik believes the charges can be split between the two countries and separate trials conducted for the charge of conspiracy to murder in Bangladesh and murder in India. “As an extradition treaty exists between India and the United States, India can apply to the government of the United States of America to hand Shaheen back to India,” said the expert in immigration and extradition law. Since the conspiracy took place in Bangladesh, a trial for conspiracy can take place in Bangladesh while the murder trial can take place in India. So from that point of view, we believe the United States will extradite him to India,” said Manik. The CID has formed a ‘special investigation team’ to solve the mystery of Anar’s murder, Indian media outlets reported.
