India Thwarts Terror Plot Against Sheikh Hasina’s Aircraft, Ensures Safe Passage

Former Bangladesh Prime Minister Shiekh Hasina was safely escorted to India amid her resignation and political turmoil.

India Thwarts Terror Plot Against Sheikh Hasina’s Aircraft, Ensures Safe Passage

India had to move quickly to secure former prime minister Sheikh Hasina's safety when she departed Bangladesh amid political unrest. As Hasina boarded an Air Force plane to travel towards India, security services armed themselves for any scenario. Radar equipment operated by the Indian Air Force saw a low-flying aircraft from Bangladesh approaching the Indian border at 3:30 p.m.

 

Air defense officials permitted the plane to enter Indian airspace since they knew the prominent passenger on board. As reported by ANI, two Rafale fighter jets from the 101 squadron at the Hashimara air base in West Bengal were deployed above Bihar and Jharkhand to offer protection.

 

The situation was closely observed by the chiefs of the Indian Air Force and Army, Air Chief Marshal VR Chaudhari, and General Upendra Dwivedi, respectively. General Dwivedi, the head of the intelligence agencies, and Lieutenant General Johnson Philip Mathew, the head of the Integrated Defense Staff, met at a high level.

 

As news of Hasina's exit spread, volatile crowds took to the streets, with some vandalizing the statue of her father and Bangladesh's founder, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. General Waqar-uz-Zaman, the head of the army, stated in a speech to the public that he had met with representatives of most political groups and taken complete responsibility for the country. He also said that an interim government would be constituted.
