New Delhi : Hours after a special tribunal in Bangladesh sentenced ousted prime minister Sheikh Hasina to death, India on Monday November 17 , 2025 said it noted the verdict and that it will engage constructively with all stakeholders considering peace, democracy and stability in the neighbouring country.
