Sheikh Hasina arrived at Hindon Air Base in Ghaziabad on the evening of August 5 after fleeing the country.
After Sheikh Hasina resigned as Bangladesh Prime Minister and fled the country on August 5, thousands of demonstrators stormed the official Dhaka residence of the PM. After weeks of demonstrations against Hasina’s 15-year rule and a government job quota system, protesters targeted Ganabhaban, her official residence, as well as other buildings connected to her family and party.
Videos of people inside the building stealing almost everything, including carpets, chairs, tables, fans, utensils, pets, clothing, her items, and even saree blouses, have been making the rounds on the internet. Now a video of a woman using Sheikh Hasina’s elliptical machine has sparked reactions on social media.
In the video, a woman is seen waving at the protestors who applaud her as she pedals forward on the elliptical machine. “My cousin sent me this video from Bangladesh. Someone stole Hasina’s elliptical; I am SCREAMING!!!” the caption reads.
