New Delhi: The Delhi Police has beefed up security at the Bangladesh High Commission here in the wake of Sheikh Hasina’s resignation as prime minister and an imminent takeover by an interim government in the neighbouring country.
Police have also tightened security outside the Indira Gandhi International Airport, in case Hasina lands in the national capital, an officer said.

Hasina has resigned and an interim government is taking over, Bangladesh Army Chief General Waqar-uz-Zaman announced on Monday.
There were unconfirmed reports that she was headed to a city in India.
“More barricades have been placed outside the commission and the number of police personnel deployed there has been increased,” a Delhi Police officer said.
More than 100 people have been killed in the protests against the Hasina government in the last two days.
The country has been witnessing fierce demonstrations over the controversial quota system that reserves 30 per cent of jobs for the families of veterans who fought the 1971 liberation war.
