DHAKA (Reuters) -- A Bangladeshi government-appointed committee examining power generation contracts, including one with India's Adani Power, has urged the interim government to hire a global legal firm to ensure a thorough and transparent investigation into deals under former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's regime.

The committee, led by Justice Moyeenul Islam Chowdhury, needs more time to analyze both solicited and unsolicited contracts from 2009 to 2024, a senior official with direct knowledge of the matter told Reuters on Monday.
