Sheikh Hasina Steps Down Amid Deadly Protests: Safe Passage to India

Sheikh Hasina, Bangladesh's Prime Minister, resigned amid violent protests and arrived in India as part of her plan to travel to London. Her journey appears uncertain due to a call for a UN-led investigation. A transitional period in Bangladesh has been announced, and the Army has assumed control.

Embattled Bangladesh leader Sheikh Hasina landed at Hindon airbase near Delhi on Monday, hours after resigning as prime minister amid deadly anti-government protests that claimed nearly 300 lives.

Hasina's India visit is part of her intended journey to London. However, British Foreign Secretary David Lammy has called for an independent UN-led probe into recent events in Bangladesh, casting doubt on her plans.

National Security Adviser Ajit Doval met Hasina at Hindon and discussed India's stand on Bangladesh's unfolding crisis. Sources confirm Hasina has been relocated to a secure location, and her departure from India on Monday night is unlikely.
