The Indian government Monday confirmed it received a note verbale from Bangladesh in connection with an extradition request for Sheikh Hasina, the former Bangladeshi prime minister and Awami League chief.

India's foreign ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal disclosed the development and said currently New Delhi has no comment to offer on this matter.

"We confirm that we have received a note verbale from the Bangladesh High Commission today in connection with an extradition request. Currently, we have no comment to offer on this matter," Jaiswal said during a media briefing.     The Bangladeshi interim government's foreign adviser Md Touhid Hossain announced earlier Monday that his country has sent a diplomatic note to the Indian government, requesting that Hasina be sent back "for judicial process".

According to Bangladeshi media reports, Hasina fled to India on Aug. 5 after the collapse of her government.

Hasina resigned following nationwide anti-government protests. She immediately left Dhaka in a military helicopter and has stayed in India since then.
