Interpol red notice sought for Hasina, 11 others

The National Central Bureau (NCB) of Bangladesh Police has submitted a request to Interpol seeking a "red notice" against 12 people, including former prime minister Sheikh Hasina.
Confirming the development, Enamul Haque Sagor, assistant inspector general (media) at the Police Headquarters (PHQ), said the NCB branch makes such requests to Interpol based on appeals received from courts, public prosecutors, or investigating agencies.
"These applications are filed in connection with allegations that emerge during investigations or through ongoing case proceedings," he said.
Interpol plays a key role in identifying the locations of fugitives residing abroad, the AIG added.
In November last year, the Chief Prosecutor's Office of the International Crimes Tribunal formally requested the Police Headquarters to seek Interpol's assistance in arresting Sheikh Hasina and others deemed fugitives.
