Sheikh Hasina Wajid’s whereabouts are unclear amid violent student protests in Bangladesh demanding her resignation.
Reports suggest she may have fled the country, with conflicting accounts of her destination.
The 76-year-old Hasina Wajid is said to have flown in a Bangladesh military aircraft with her sister. Footage from Flight Radar showed a Bangladesh Air Force Lockheed C-130J Hercules flying over India, specifically over Jharkhand.
Earlier reports suggested she might have gone to West Bengal, but airline data shows the aircraft bypassed the state.
There are conflicting reports about whether the Indian government has granted political asylum to Sheikh Hasina.
Unverified sources claim her helicopter landed in Agartala, a city in Tripura, northeast India. Videos of a helicopter supposedly carrying her are circulating on social media.
The Chief of Army Staff, Vaqar-ul-Zaman, is expected to speak soon as the army has been deployed across the country, including in Dhaka. Internet services remain suspended due to the unrest.
A civil disobedience movement led by students in Bangladesh has demanded the resignation of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina Wajed. The protests have turned deadly, with over 300 people reported dead.
The current location of Sheikh Hasina is unknown.
