Members of former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s team, who arrived in India on Monday to escape a violent uprising against the Awami League government, have started departing for other destinations, according to top government sources.
Sheikh Hasina, along with her sister Sheikh Rehana and her close associates, traveled to India in a military transport jet, landing at Hindon airbase near Delhi.
Urgent Evacuation
The team arrived in India in a state of significant distress, having been forced to flee Bangladesh quickly to evade mobs that had even breached the Prime Minister’s residence, according to government sources.
Due to their hasty departure from Bangladesh, Sheikh Hasina and her associates were unable to bring extra clothes or daily necessities, as reported by government sources
