India examining Bangladeshs request to extradite former PM Sheikh Hasina
NEW DELHI: India on Wednesday confirmed it has received a request from Bangladesh to extradite former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and said the matter is under examination through ongoing judicial and internal legal processes. The request is being examined as part of ongoing judicial and internal legal processes, External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said. We remain committed to the best interests of the people of Bangladesh, including peace, democracy, inclusion and stability in that country and will continue to engage constructively in this regard with all stakeholders, Jaiswal added. Hasina has been living in exile in India since August 5 last year following the collapse of her government after violent student-led protests. Last week the International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) in Dhaka sentenced her to death in absentia for crimes against humanity linked to her governments handling of the unrest. Following the verdict, Bangladesh Foreign Ministry formally had requested Hasinas return in a formal letter to New Delhi, calling her a fugitive accused and citing the bilateral extradition agreement. Exclusive Interview: Sheikh Hasina keen on fighting polls, calls $234-billion allegation laughable The Bangladesh letter said it was an obligatory responsibility for India to facilitate her extradition and added, Providing refuge to these individuals, who have been convicted of crimes against humanity, by any other country would be a highly unfriendly act and a disregard for justice. India had earlier issued a measured response after the ICT verdict, reiterating its commitment to Bangladeshs stability and democratic processes. India has noted the verdict announced by the International Crimes Tribunal of Bangladesh concerning former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. As a close neighbour, India remains committed to the best interests of the people of Bangladesh, including in peace, democracy, inclusion and stability in that country. We will always engage constructively with all stakeholders to that end, the MEA had said. After the death sentence against Sheikh Hasina, what can India do to calm its turbulent eastern front?

After row over Union minister's remarks, CM Fadnavis says he'll urge PM to change name of IIT Bombay
Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said on Wednesday that he will write to the Prime Minister requesting him to replace Bombay with Mumbai in the name of the city's Indian Institute of Technology. This comes after a row over Union Minister for Science and Technology Jitendra Singh's remarks during his speech at IIT Bombay on Monday. Singh had remarked on a lighter note, As far as IIT Bombay is concerned, thank god it still has this name. You have not changed it to Mumbai. So that's another compliment to you. And also true for Madras. It remains IIT Madras. Singh also lauded IIT Bombay, which was set up in 1958, saying the institute had been a very consistent partner of the Department of Science and Technology. Opposition parties, particularly the Raj Thackeray-led MNS, subsequently raked up a controversy, saying that BJP leaders never let go of any opportunity to insult Marathi, Mumbai and Maharashtra. In response, CM Fadnavis said that BJP leader Rambhau Naik was instrumental in getting Bombay renamed as Mumbai. We are working to remove the remaining references to Bombay in Mumbai. I personally will write to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Human Resource Ministry to replace the name of IIT Bombay with IIT Mumbai. Some people raise the issue for the sake of controversy and forget their children's school names. They never make a complaint and write to change the name of their children's schools, Fadnavis said. Uddhav Thackeray and Raj Thackeray's children studied in Bombay Scottish and Don Bosco English medium schools in Mumbai. Raj Thackeray alleged that the BJP-led Union government planned to bring Mumbai under the control of the Centre like they planned with Chandigarh. With the Mumbai Metropolitan region expansion plan, they are connecting it to Gujarat so that projects can be taken away easily from Maharashtra to Gujarat. Singh's statement has brought out a hidden truth about what the BJP and its leaders think about Mumbai and Maharashtra. Singh is from Jammu, but still he stirred this controversy just to get pats from two Gujarati leaders, the MNS leader said. Bombay was officially renamed Mumbai in 1995 by the state government to honour the local goddess Mumbadevi after whom the city is named, and to shed the remnants of British colonial rule.

Central agencies to question Chinese national held at Indo-Nepal border in UP's Bahraich
LUCKNOW: Sleuths from central intelligence agencies reached Bahraich in Uttar Pradesh on Wednesday to question 49-year-old Chinese national Liu Kunjing. Kunjing was detained on Monday by the Border Intelligence Team of the SSB and the UP police along the IndiaNepal border in the Rupaidiha area of Bahraich. Kunjing was caught when he was filming the SSB camp and other security installations close to Border Pillar 651/07barely 60 metres inside Indian territory. Kunjings passport had visas of Pakistan, Nepal and Vietnam stamped on it indicating his extensive travel history, which further added to the concerns of security agencies. 1 Three mobile phones a Vivo X7 Pro, a Vivo Nexa and an iPhone 6s along with an iFlytek translator device, suggesting he was prepared for multilingual communication, were recovered from him. A Nepal map marking sensitive border points was also seized. The sources said that during the initial questioning, Kunjing told the officers that he wanted to go to Delhi for furniture business via Nepalgunj and Rupaidihaan unauthorised route for foreign nationals. However, he did not have the Indian visa and sneaked into the Indian territory. In the meantime, the three mobile phone numbers, the digital data of his phones were shared with surveillance and cyber experts who were analysing it. Subsequently, the SSB and ATS informed all central agencies, including the Intelligence Bureau (IB), Research and Analysis Wing (R&AW) and Military Intelligence about the arrest. Kunjing was booked under Section 21 of the Foreigners and Immigration Act, 2025 for entering India through an illegal route. After his medical examination, he was produced before local court and sent to Bahraich jail under 14-day judicial custody. The central intelligence officers would question him inside the prison itself under tight security. The sources claimed that the focus of the central agencies while interrogating Kunjing would be to extract information about his contacts in Pakistan and unravel his travel history across the sub-continent. Moreover, the investigators are also trying to ascertain his purpose of intrusion and the contact whom he wanted to meet in Delhi. Sources said investigators were examining if Kunjing's movements, cross-country travel and marked maps indicated possible reconnaissance, espionage-linked activity, or the presence of a larger cross-border network operating along the porous IndoNepal frontier. The interrogation may continue for the next few days as agencies verify digital, financial and travel footprints recovered from his devices and documents.

Elephant deaths in Jharkhand's Chaibasa raise concern as officials probe unexplained pattern
RANCHI: A series of mysterious elephant deaths in the Chaibasa forest range of West Singhbhum district has raised concern among forest officials, with three wild tuskers found dead within two weeks without any external injuries. On Tuesday, the body of another male elephant was recovered in the Sosopi forest. According to officials, the elephant bore no external injuries and its tusks were intact. Notably, this is the third such elephant death in less than a fortnight in the Chaibasa Forest Division without any apparent cause. Earlier, two elephants were found dead about 10 days ago near Jogidaru and Kudohatu. Chaibasa Divisional Forest Officer Aditya Narayan confirmed the series of deaths. Yes, an elephant was found dead in the forests of Chaibasa and we are trying to find out the reasons behind its death. Since there is no sign of any external injury and its tusks are intact, poaching cannot be the reason behind it, said the DFO. Forensic experts have been roped in to determine the actual cause of death, and any conclusion can be drawn only after the reports are obtained, he added. Regional Chief Conservator of Forests of the Kolhan Division, Smita Pankaj, described the deaths as a mystery. Officials are trying to establish the exact cause of these deaths, she said. Incidentally, several elephants have died in Chaibasa due to different reasons in recent years. Some were killed in IED blasts, some died due to electrocution, while many were mowed down by speeding trains. Earlier, at least four elephants were killed in separate IED blasts in the Saranda forest within three months; three of them died during treatment, while another was found dead in the jungle. According to an estimate, around 6065 Maoists are believed to be hiding in the Saranda jungles, where they have planted thousands of IEDs. This has become a challenge for security forces and poses a potential threat to wildlife as well. In July this year, a wild elephant was found dead under suspicious circumstances in the Serengasia valley of Chaibasa. Locals claimed the elephant died of electrocution. Earlier, as many as five elephants died of electrocution together after coming in contact with a 33,000-volt overhead wire in the jungles of Musabani under Ghatsila sub-division of East Singhbhum district in November 2023. Two wild elephants also died due to electrocution in the region on November 1 and November 2, 2023. In July 2019, an adult tusker died after coming in contact with an 11,000-volt overhead transmission line at Khalarisai village in the Kharswan forest division of Jharkhand. Earlier, two tuskers died of electrocution in 201718 and 201819 each. In 201617, two elephants died after a speeding train ran over them while they were crossing the railway line.
