The Bangladesh High Commission in New Delhi has officially received an email from London-based law firm Matrix Chambers requesting a new passport and National Identity Card (NID) on behalf of ousted former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
The receipt of the communication was confirmed to Dhaka Post on Monday, November 9, 2026, by Saidur Rahman, Press Minister at the Bangladesh High Commission in New Delhi. According to the Press Minister, Sheikh Hasina herself has not submitted any direct application; rather, the request arrived via email from the legal firm. Crucially, the correspondence did not include any client authorization, power of attorney, or verifying documentation confirming that the request was made with Hasina's direct consent.
