Bangladesh will seek the extradition of ousted former prime minister Sheikh Hasina who fled to India, interim leader Muhammad Yunus said. Yunus said his administration was focused on ensuring those guilty of cracking down on the protests to oust Hasina faced justice. Several of her former government ministers, who were detained and held in custody, are expected in court to face similar charges. "We will seek the extradition of the ousted autocrat from India," Yunus said, referring to Hasina. Yunus said he could not give a timeframe for the elections, saying it was dependent on a raft of reforms.
