Interpol red notice request for Hasina, 11 others under process: AIG Enamul
A request to Interpol for issuing 'red notice" against 12 people, including deposed prime minister Sheikh Hasina, is currently under process, police said.
Enamul Haque Sagor, assistant inspector general (media) at the Police Headquarters confirmed the development today (19 April).
He said the National Central Bureau (NCB) of Bangladesh Police 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. Once the whereabouts of any absconding individual are confirmed, that information is relayed to Interpol, the AIG added.
Meanwhile, the Chief Prosecutor's Office of the International Crimes Tribunal in November last year formally requested the Police Headquarters to seek Interpol's assistance in arresting Sheikh Hasina and others deemed fugitives.
