On August 5, as millions of angry protesters converged on her Dhaka residence, former Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina jumped into a helicopter and then boarded an air force plane. She did not hesitate for a second in choosing her destination: New Delhi, the capital of India, her long-time ally.
Since then, no one knows exactly where the “Iron Begum” of Bengal is. We only know that she landed on August 5 at a military base in the suburbs of Delhi. And she is said to be living in a well-guarded residence, kept secret.
