Online Desk  :   Toby Cadman, Special Adviser to the Chief Prosecutor of the International Crimes Tribunal, expressed hope that India, as a democratic state, should take steps, in accordance with the treaty and following the law, to send Sheikh Hasina back to Bangladesh.  He made this statement after a meeting on Wednesday (December 11) with the Chief Prosecutor of the Tribunal, other prosecutors, and officials from the investigation agencies.
