Dhaka shooting: Bangladesh summons Indian envoy, India rejects unverified claims

  • Bangladeshi parliamentary candidate Sharif Osman Hadi was critically injured in a shooting in Dhaka.
  • Bangladesh's interim government summoned the Indian envoy, seeking cooperation on the suspects despite lacking verified evidence of cross-border involvement.
  • The summoning was based on unverified social media claims that the assailants fled to India.
  • Bangladesh also raised concerns about former PM Sheikh Hasina's statements from India and demanded her extradition.
  • India rejected Bangladesh's allegations and urged the interim government to ensure internal law and order for peaceful elections.

Why It Matters: Bangladesh's internal political crisis is straining relations with India.
