Bangladesh ratified an extradition treaty with India on Monday to enable the handing over of suspects and convicted prisoners between the South Asian neighbours, a government spokesman said.
The treaty will come into force shortly after exchanging copies of the ratified agreement between the two countries, said spokesman Mosharraf Hossain Bhuiyan. India has already ratified the agreement, he added.
The ratification of the treaty paves the way for Bangladesh to transfer Indian separatist leader, Anup Chetia, to India. Chetia is in jail in Bangladesh after being arrested in 1997 for illegal stay, possessing unauthorized currencies and an unlicensed satellite telephone. He is a leader of the United Liberation Front of Assam, the largest separatist movement in the state of Assam.
Bangladesh says it wants to bring back two criminals serving prison terms in Indian jails.
