How IAF secured Sheikh Hasina during Bangladesh to India flight

Sheikh Hasina arrived at the Hindon airfield on the outskirts of Delhi on Monday. Sheikh Hasina resigned from her position as prime minister of Bangladesh as result of historic demonstrations against her administration.

According to officials, the troubled Bangladesh leader entered India before proceeding to London. She traveled to India on Bangladesh Air Force C130J military transport plane, which landed on Monday night at the Indian Air Force (IAF) base in Hindon, Ghaziabad. Given the threat to her life, the journey from Dhaka to Ghaziabad was extremely sensitive.

As she made her way towards India in search of safety, officials assured the media that Indian security services were prepared for any eventuality.
