New Indian ExpressEver since the fall of the Awami League government on August 5, at least 268 cases have been registered against 1.94 lakh people, with most of them being the AL’s leaders and activists including former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. Among the 1.94 lakh accused, 26,268 people are named and around 1.68 lakh others are unnamed, The Wire reported quoting The Dailly Star. Meanwhile, it’s been nearly a month since former Bangladesh prime minister Sheikh Hasina hurriedly landed at a military base near Delhi after a chaotic exit from her country. Many Bangladeshis, according to the BBC report, attribute the anger against India to Delhi's swift endorsement of three controversial elections won by Hasina's party amid allegations of widespread vote-rigging.
