Former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is facing a total of 673 cases filed at police stations across Bangladesh, including 457 cases involving allegations of murder, according to information provided by the Police Headquarters and reported by Kholakagoj.
Hasina left Bangladesh for India on August 5, 2024, following the fall of the Awami League government amid the mass uprising. In addition to the cases filed at police stations, six more cases against her are currently pending before the International Crimes Tribunal.

On October 17, 2024, the first day of proceedings after the reconstitution of the International Crimes Tribunal, an arrest warrant was issued against Hasina.
Later, on November 17, 2025, International Crimes Tribunal-1 delivered its verdict in a case concerning crimes against humanity committed during the July mass uprising. The tribunal sentenced Hasina and former Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan to death. Former Inspector General of Police Chowdhury Abdullah Al-Mamun, who became a state witness in the case, was sentenced to five years in prison.
Meanwhile, Bangladesh Police took steps to seek an Interpol Red Notice to facilitate Hasina’s return to the country. In April 2025, the National Central Bureau (NCB) of Bangladesh Police submitted an application concerning Hasina and 11 others. However, no Red Notice has been issued against her so far.
Separately, Reuters reported that a letter had been sent to the Bangladesh High Commission in New Delhi seeking a new passport and national identity card for Hasina. The High Commission, however, denied receiving any such application.
