Indian High Commissioner to Bangladesh Vikram Kumar Doraiswami on Tuesday said that legal process has to be completed before extradition of PK Halder from India to Bangladesh.
"See, this involves legal procedure. He was arrested on a holiday last week. We will inform Bangladesh based on the information that we have. You need to understand that this is not exchange of Christmas cards," he said.
“These are things done through legal process. Let that happen slowly,” he said, adding that they are working with the Bangladesh government.
He said there will be response from their side at some point of time based on the information they are provided with.
Halder, wanted in Bangladesh for money laundering and a series of financial crimes, was arrested on Sunday by India’s federal Enforcement Directorate, in West Bengal.
