  "summary": "Bangladesh Prime Minister Tarique Rahman will not visit India until New Delhi extradites former premier Sheikh Hasina, who fled to India after the 2024 uprising. According to the Daily Times and other sources, Bangladesh wants India to accelerate the extradition process, but New Delhi says the request is under examination.\n\nSheikh Hasina faces the death penalty in Bangladesh after being convicted of crimes against humanity. Her extradition has been repeatedly requested by Dhaka, but India has not yet taken any action. Bangladesh and India have had a strained relationship since Hasina's government was brought down by deadly anti-government protests.\n\nBangladesh and India have been in contact about a possible visit by Rahman to New Delhi, with India's High Commissioner to Bangladesh, Dinesh Trivedi, meeting Rahman last week. However, a foreign ministry official, AKM Shahidul Karim, said a \"propitious environment\" needs to be created for the visit, which includes expediting the extradition of Hasina and other fugitives, according to Dawn and Business Recorder.",
