Hasina moved to a safe house in India: PTI
Former prime minister Sheikh Hasina has been moved to a safe but undisclosed location in India, PTI reported quoting unnamed sources.
It was unlikely that she would leave India tonight, it added.
The sources said Hasina's plan was to leave for London. However, certain issues have made that plan uncertain.
India decided to provide a safe passage through the Indian airspace to Hasina's aircraft following a request from Bangladesh, the sources said.
Bangladesh's military aircraft carrying Hasina landed in Hindon Air Base near Delhi earlier this evening.
Indian government sources said New Delhi is closely following the fast-paced developments in Dhaka.
There is no official word in India on Hasina's arrival in Delhi.
Hours after Hasina landed at the airbase near Delhi in a C-130J military transport aircraft of the Bangladesh Air Force, Indian National Security Adviser Ajit Doval met her, the sources said.
Separately, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar briefed Prime Minister Narendra Modi about the rapidly unfolding situation in Bangladesh.
Jaishankar also separately apprised Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on the developments.
Modi later chaired a meeting of his cabinet committee and discussed the developments in Bangladesh.

Hasina is learnt to be travelling in a C130J transport aircraft of the Bangladesh Air Force and it is expected to have a stopover in India, India's civil aviation sources said.

PM resigned, interim govt to be formed: Army chief
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has resigned and an interim government will be formed to run the country, Army Chief General Waker-Uz-Zaman said
PM resigned, interim govt to be formed: Army chief
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has resigned and an interim government will be formed to run the country, Army Chief General Waker-Uz-Zaman said today.
The Bangladesh army chief made the announcement while addressing the nation in the afternoon.
The army chief said in a televised address that Hasina had resigned earlier in the day.
The development comes in the wake of unprecedented violence that saw roughly 300 people killed in the space of two weeks.
He reassured everyone that justice would be ensured for each of the killings. General Waker said it was now everyone's responsibility to remain calm.
"Together, we hope to go towards a better situation," he said addressing the media.
"I am taking full responsibility," the general said.
"The country has suffered a lot, the economy has been hit, many people have been killed -- it is time to stop the violence."
"I hope after my speech, the situation will improve."
He said he would talk to the president to form the interim government and had held talks with the main opposition parties and civil society members -- but not the Awami League.
"If the situation gets better, there is no need for emergency", he said, vowing that the new authorities would "prosecute all murders" following weeks of deadly protests.
"Now the task of the students is to keep calm and help us," he said.

US urges calm in Bangladesh, salutes army role

The United States called yesterday for calm in Bangladesh after long-ruling leader Sheikh Hasina fled, and saluted the military for forming an interim government instead of cracking down further on protesters.
"We urge all parties to refrain from further violence. Too many lives have been lost over the course of the past several weeks, and we urge calm and restraint in the days ahead," State Department spokesman Matthew Miller told reporters.
Hasina had sought to quell nationwide protests against her government since early July but she fled the country after nearly 100 people were killed on Sunday.
Miller said that the United States had seen reports that the army refused pressure to crack down further on student-led demonstrations.
"If it is true in fact that the army resisted calls to crack down on lawful protesters, that would be a positive development," he said.
"We welcome the announcement of an interim government and urge any transition be conducted in accordance with Bangladesh's laws," he said.
Asked if the military should choose the next leadership, Miller said, "We want to see the Bangladeshi people decide the future Bangladeshi government."
He said that the United States also was "deeply saddened about the reports of human rights abuses, casualties and injuries over the weekend and past weeks."
"It is vital that we have full and transparent investigations to ensure accountability for these deaths," Miller said.
Hasina largely had a productive relationship with the United States, which saw her as a partner on priorities such as countering Islamist extremism and sheltering Rohingya refugees fleeing persecution in Myanmar.
But the United States had increasingly criticised her for autocratic tendencies and imposed visa sanctions over concerns on democracy.
