Security Heightened at Bangladesh High Commission in Delhi Amid Turmoil

The Delhi Police have intensified security at the Bangladesh High Commission and Indira Gandhi International Airport in response to political unrest in Bangladesh. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has resigned, and violent protests have resulted in over 100 deaths. There are reports that Hasina may be heading to an Indian city.

The Delhi Police have heightened security measures at the Bangladesh High Commission in Chanakyapuri following recent developments in Bangladesh, an officer reported on Monday.

Additionally, police have ramped up security at the Indira Gandhi International Airport amid rumors that Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina could arrive in the capital. Hasina has stepped down, and an interim government is set to take over, Bangladesh Army Chief General Waqar-uz-Zaman announced. Unconfirmed reports suggest Hasina might be headed to an Indian city. 'More barricades have been placed outside the commission, and the number of police personnel deployed there has been increased,' a Delhi Police officer confirmed.

Violent protests have erupted against the Hasina government, resulting in over 100 fatalities over the past two days. The unrest is driven by opposition to a controversial quota system that reserves 30 percent of jobs for families of veterans from the 1971 liberation war.
