High Commissioner says Dhaka's request for the ousted Bangladesh PM's return is under a legal process involving courts

The former Bangladesh cricket captain appeared virtually alongside former prime minister Sheikh Hasina at a press conference in New Delhi.

Hasina claimed the anti-government protests had been hijacked by extremist and foreign-backed forces to topple her elected government.

One senior member of her Awami League (AL) party said he believed she was genuine in wanting to return.

The issue figured prominently during a meeting on Monday between Bangladesh’s foreign affairs adviser Humayun Kabir and India’s newly appointed high commissioner to Dhaka, Dinesh Trivedi.
