New Delhi: India and Bangladesh during the Secretary level talks have virtually finalised the draft extradition treaty which would facilitate handing over of ULFA general secretary Anup Chetia.

“The treaty is close to a final stage. The two sides will exchange the drafts and come out with their views and changes, if any, very soon,” an official said at the end of the first day’s meeting of the Joint Working Group here on Saturday.

“India is keen to have Chetia, languishing in a Bangladesh jail after having completed his sentence following his arrest in 1997 on the charge of entering that country without any valid documents,” he added.

The extradition treaty, when signed, is also expected to lead to India’s handing over of Riasaldar Mosleuddin who killed Bangladesh’s independence architect Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, father of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, in August 1975.

Mosleuddin is believed to be hiding in India.

The Hasina government has been seeking Mosleuddin to put him on trial in connection with Mujib assassination.

The meeting also discussed expediting the implementation of the pact on demarcation of land boundary and exchange of 162 adversely-held enclaves, which was signed during Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s visit to Dhaka in September, the official said. The meeting discussed the problems that had cropped up in implementing the accord. (UNI)
