Following the ouster of Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's government, Indian security agencies were on high alert as she sought refuge in India aboard an Air Force jet.

In a significant display of its defense capabilities, India provided a robust security cover for the aircraft carrying Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. Indian security agencies deployed advanced Rafale jets and maintained heightened radar activity to ensure the Prime Minister's safe passage.

Active Radar Surveillance

Indian Air Force radars were diligently monitoring the airspace over Bangladesh when, around 3 PM, they detected a low-flying aircraft approaching Indian territory. Sources informed ANI that the aircraft was swiftly identified and allowed entry into Indian airspace, as air defense personnel were aware of its significant passenger.

Rafale Jets Ensuring Security

To ensure the security of the aircraft, two Rafale fighter jets from the 101 Squadron at Hashimara Air Base in West Bengal were deployed. These jets patrolled the skies over Bihar and Jharkhand, providing an escort for the incoming aircraft.

Coordinated Monitoring and Communication

The flight path of the aircraft was meticulously monitored by ground agencies, with constant communication maintained between the aircraft and top Indian security officials. This coordinated effort ensured a safe and secure passage for Prime Minister Hasina.
Indian security agencies coordinated seamlessly to implement this extensive security plan. The air traffic control, ground support teams, and intelligence units worked in unison to maintain a secure environment throughout Prime Minister Hasina's flight.

Diplomatic Assurance

The meticulous security arrangements underscore the strong diplomatic ties between India and Bangladesh. By ensuring the safety of Prime Minister Hasina, India reaffirmed its commitment to supporting its neighbor and fostering a secure regional environment.
Upon landing at Hindon Air Base at approximately 5:45 PM, Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina was warmly received by India's National Security Advisor, Ajit Doval.
