After resigning as prime minister, Sheikh Hasina left Bangladesh on Monday afternoon, accompanied by her younger sister Sheikh Rehana, later landing at the Hindon air base near Delhi, India.
Air Officer Commanding (AOC) Sanjay Chopra received Sheikh Hasina at the air base, reports India Today.
The Indian Air Force and security agencies closely monitored her aircraft from the moment it entered Indian airspace until it landed at Air Force Station Hindon.
From there, she plans to go to London, UK, reports the Indian news outlet News18.
AFP earlier reported that Sheikh Hasina and Sheikh Rehana had reached a safe location.
Sheikh Hasina apparently intended to record a speech before her departure but did not get the opportunity to do so.
The announcement of Sheikh Hasina’s resignation came from Chief of Army Staff Waker-uz-Zaman after protesters stormed her official residence, Ganabhaban.
Images showed flames billowing from vehicles near the prime minister’s home, with police unable to contain throngs of people storming it.
