Bangladesh's interim leader seeks Hasina's extradition from India for accountability in protest deaths.

Bangladesh's interim leader, Muhammad Yunus, announced plans to seek the extradition of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina from India, where she fled after a mass uprising in August. Yunus aims to hold Hasina accountable for the deaths of hundreds during student-led protests that ended her 15-year rule. Bangladesh has requested Interpol's help in issuing a red notice for her arrest. The government also plans electoral reforms before announcing a new election roadmap to transfer power to an elected government.
