Former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, 76, who fled violent anti-government protests, is extending her stay in India while seeking asylum in the UK. Arriving at Ghaziabad’s Hindon Air Base, Hasina met India's National Security Advisor Ajit Doval and other senior officials. The Indian government has assured her full security. Hasina's sister Rehana, a UK citizen, is accompanying her. Despite plans to fly to London, no confirmation on asylum has been received yet. Meanwhile, India has heightened security along its 4,096 km border with Bangladesh and suspended transport links due to the ongoing crisis.
