After escaping Bangladesh, Sheikh Hasina lands at the Hindon IAF base
Hasina reportedly traveling in a transport plane operated by the Bangladesh Air Force that stopped in India.
Sheikh Hasina, the former prime minister of Bangladesh, arrived at the Hindon Indian Air Force base in Ghaziabad, near Delhi, at around 6 p.m. on Monday. Sheikh Hasina left her position and left the country shortly after demonstrators stormed her Dhaka mansion earlier today.
Army Chief General Waker-Uz-Zaman told reporters at a briefing that he would assume leadership during “a critical time for our country” and form a provisional administration. “We will go to the president and ask to form an interim government to lead the country in the interim,” he said, accepting responsibility for his actions.
Hasina, 76, is traveling from India to London, according to a report by PTI that cited numerous diplomatic sources. She is reportedly traveling in a transport aircraft operated by the Bangladesh Air Force, a C-130, which stopped over in India. According to PTI, it’s still unclear if Hasina would board a different aircraft for additional travel—possibly to London—or if the flight will continue past India.

As per PTI’s sources, India has granted safe passage for Hasina’s plane across its airspace, subsequent to a request from Dhaka. While Dhaka’s quickly changing scenario is being keenly observed by Indian government officials, New Delhi has not yet released an official statement on the events in Bangladesh.
In the meantime, the masses that had been demonstrating in Dhaka for an additional day began to celebrate. Ahead of a planned large-scale protest on Monday, locals reported raids and gunshots, especially in affluent districts, and the internet was down for several hours during the night.
Human rights organizations had charged that Hasina’s administration killed opposition activists and manipulated state institutions to bolster its hold on power and quell criticism. The most recent student-led demonstrations were sparked by a quota system that they said unjustly gave government employment to the offspring of independence fighters from the independence struggle of 1971.
In a shocking turn of events, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina of Bangladesh quit and left the nation on Monday as the violence against her government intensified and claimed the lives of at least 300 people. Following this, Army Chief of Staff Waker-Uz-Zaman called for a halt to the demonstrators’ violence and announced the impending formation of an interim administration at a news conference.
But in the five decades since Bangladesh emerged from a war in 1971, there have been several reports of unrest in the nation.
What took place in 2024 on August 5?
In defiance of a statewide curfew, student activists had planned for a march to the capital city of Dhaka on Monday in an effort to pressure Hasina to step down. Troops and armored personnel carriers were patrolling the streets of the capital as demonstrators started to march in some areas, as reported by Reuters TV. Six persons lost their lives in the ensuing fights.
Television footage showed thousands of people celebrating as Hasina left the nation and poured into the streets of Dhaka. Thousands of people gathered outside Hasina’s official house, “Ganabhaban,” waving banners and celebrating. Images on television showed throngs of individuals in the residence’s drawing rooms, and some of them were seen removing televisions, chairs, and tables from one of the nation’s most guarded structures.
The images also showed protesters in Dhaka scaling a big statue of Hasina’s father, independence leader Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, and starting to chip away at the head with an axe.
Following student organizations’ demands to remove a contentious quota system that allocated 30% of government employment for the relatives of veterans who participated in Bangladesh’s 1971 War of Independence, protests and violence broke out in Bangladesh last month.
