Ousted Bangladeshi leader Sheikh Hasina is set to remain in Delhi for a few days after her travel plans hit a snag. The Awami League leader had planned to head for London (via India) after fleeing her country on Monday. The ousted lawmaker is now contemplating other options after the British government indicated she may not get legal protection in the UK against any possible investigation.

“The UK has a proud record of providing protection for people who need it. However, there is no provision for someone to be allowed to travel to the UK to seek asylum or temporary refuge. Those who need international protection should claim asylum in the first safe country they reach – that is the fastest route to safety,” a UK Home Office spokesperson told NDTV.
