Bangladesh seeks Sheikh Hasina’s extradition from India
Bangladesh has formally asked India to extradite former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who fled to this country in August after a student-led movement dislodged her from power.
Five people were killed and three others severely injured on Wednesday when a speedy passenger bus collided head on with a microbus in Muksudpur upazila in Bangladesh’s Gopalganj district.
The accident happened around 11.00 a.m. on the Dhaka-Barishal highway when the microbus collided head-on with a Dhaka bound bus proceeding towards Lubana from Barisal.
