Ousted Bangladesh PM Sheikh Hasina has requested a fresh passport and National Identity Card (NID) from Bangladesh's embassy in Delhi so she can return from her 2-year exile in India in December. Hasina fled after the 2024 violent uprising, following which her party, Awami League, was banned. She was sentenced to death in absentia in November 2025.
