Following her resignation as Prime Minister of Bangladesh and leaving Dhaka earlier on Monday, Sheikh Hasina will reportedly remain in India until granted political asylum in a third country.
Indian media sources indicate that Hasina is seeking asylum in the UK.
According to PTI, she has been moved to a secure location within India and is unlikely to depart on Monday night.
Earlier, NDTV reported that Hasina met with Indian National Security Advisor Ajit Doval at the Hindon Air Force base in Ghaziabad, roughly 30 km from Delhi.
The 76-year-old leader’s resignation follows a period of intense unrest in Bangladesh, where over 300 people have been killed in violent protests against a controversial government job quota system.
