Air India's Special Flight To Dhaka Brings Back 205 People To Delhi

Bangladesh has plunged into uncertainty after street protests over job quota forced Sheikh Hasina to quit as prime minister and flee.

A special Air India flight brought 205 people, including six infants, from Dhaka to New Delhi on Wednesday morning, an official said.

The chartered flight, which took off for the Bangladesh capital late Tuesday, was operated with an A321 neo aircraft. The flight brought back 205 people -- 199 adults and six infants -- from Dhaka.

Air India operated the flight, which took off from the national capital without any passengers, at a very short notice despite infrastructure challenges at the airport there, said the official in the know of the developments.
