New Delhi: Bangladesh President Mohammed Shahabuddin, a former ally of ousted premier Sheikh Hasina, will resign on Friday, three sources told Reuters on Thursday, days after Hasina said she was returning home from exile to surrender.
Last November Bangladesh's war crimes court sentenced Hasina to death in absentia for ordering a crackdown on a student-led uprising in 2024 in which nearly 1,400 people were killed. From exile, she has denied the charges against her.
