India, Bangladesh extradition treaty comes into force

Both nations signed the treaty in January this year paving the way for exchanging convicts or under-trial criminals between the two countries.

The cabinet of Bangladesh ratified it on October 7 while India did the same earlier.

Chetia - ULFA's founder general secretary - had sought political asylum in Bangladesh thrice in 2005, 2008 and 2011 after being arrested in Dhaka in 1997.
