India says travel document needed for Hasina's extradition as Bangladesh denies passport

India's foreign ministry said on 10 November that a separate travel document, not a passport, is required for the possible extradition of former Bangladeshi prime minister Sheikh Hasina, after Bangladesh refused to issue her a passport. Hasina had asked the Bangladeshi embassy in Delhi on 9 November for a new passport and national identity card, signalling a planned return to Bangladesh in December.

Bangladesh's foreign ministry reviewed the request and the acting foreign minister said the government was pursuing her extradition through a prisoner-transfer process. Dhaka later rejected the passport application and warned that she could face execution if she returned.
