Sheikh Hasina still in Delhi: India 

Former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who came to India in early August, is still in New Delhi.

The Indian foreign ministry said on Thursday after a court in Bangladesh had issued an arrest warrant against Sheikh Hasina and 45 others. 

“On the stay of the former Prime Minister I had earlier mentioned that she had come here at a short notice and she continues to be here,” a spokesperson said.

Sheikh Hasina had arrived in India on August 5, as an uprising led by students against her turned violent. 

The government had not mentioned how long she would stay and there was much speculation about her final destination.

Her son Sajeeb Wazed, who is based in Washington, had said the 76-year-old was contemplating retirement and is likely to divide her time between her family members.

Asked about multiple reports about UK's "silence" her request for asylum and revocation of her visa by the US, he had said that she has not requested asylum "anywhere".
