Ousted prime minister of Bangladesh and president of Awami League Sheikh Hasina was seen spending time with her daughter and taking walks at a park in Delhi, India.
According to Financial Times, several Indians have privately claimed that Sheikh Hasina is in an Indian government safe house and spending time with her daughter Saima Wazed, who works in Delhi as World Health Organisation regional director for South-East Asia.
Some eyewitnesses also claimed to have caught a glimpse of Hasina strolling with her entourage around Lodhi Garden.
Hasina fled to India on August 5 submitting her resignation amid a student-led mass uprising.
Hasina, 76, fled to India by helicopter one month ago as protesters marched on her palace in a dramatic end to her iron-fisted rule of 15 years.
A total of 625 people have lost their lives and 18,380 have been injured during the student-led mass uprising, said Health Services Division officials of Bangladesh.
Several murder cases have been filed against Hasina and her aides over the killings of students and mass people during the uprising.
Hasina has been making phone calls to activists of the Awami League in Bangladesh and giving them instructions.
Bangladesh鈥檚 interim government chief adviser Muhammad Yunus told Indian media recently that Sheikh Hasina should 鈥榢eep quiet鈥� while exiled in India until she is brought home for trial, interim leader on Thursday.
鈥業f India wants to keep her until the time Bangladesh wants her back, the condition would be that she has to keep quiet,鈥� Yunus, 84, told the Press Trust of India news agency.
鈥楽itting in India, she is speaking and giving instructions. No one likes it. It鈥檚 not good for us or for India,鈥� he added.
Foreign affairs adviser Md Touhid Hossain said on September 1 that the foreign ministry would put efforts to bring back ousted prime minister Sheikh Hasina from India if required by the country鈥檚 legal system.
Pointing that there was an extradition agreement between Bangladesh and India, Touhid said that if the legal system and courts in Bangladesh raised concerns, the government would pursue her return.
