ANSWER: THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF EXTERNAL AFFAIRS (SHRI E. AHAMED)

(a) to (f) India does not have an Extradition Treaty with Bangladesh. During the visit of the Prime Minister to Bangladesh in September 2011, the two sides underscored the need to conclude an Extradition Treaty between the two countries expeditiously to complete the legal framework for bilateral security cooperation. At the Home Secretary level talks held in November 2011 in New Delhi, both sides agreed that Extradition Treaty, under consideration by both the Governments, may be finalized at an early date. This issue was also discussed at the second annual Home Minister level consultations held in New Delhi in February 2012.
