Former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's plans to travel have encountered significant hurdles due to various uncertainties, with her departure from India now unlikely in the coming days, according to sources.

Hasina, who resigned on Monday amid massive protests, was moved to a secure location after landing at India's Hindon airbase. Her intended trip to London is in question following indications from the UK government that she might not receive legal protection against any investigations.

The situation remains fluid, with her aides discussing alternative travel options. The British Foreign Secretary David Lammy has called for a thorough UN-led investigation into recent violence in Bangladesh, adding another layer of complexity to Hasina's relocation plans.

Hasina, accompanied by her sister Sheikh Rehana, left her official residence and flew to Hindon in a military aircraft after stepping down from power.
