Special Correspondent

A rumor is being heard from various sources that former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina had a secret meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, who is visiting India.

Sources say the meeting took place ahead of Putin’s scheduled meeting with Indian President Droupadi Murmu.

According to various sources, the duration of this meeting was 17 minutes. However, no information was available about the issues discussed in this meeting.

The private talks took place at Rashtrapati Bhavan in New Delhi during Putin’s two-day state visit (December 4-5).

Sources said that Sheikh Hasina was taken to Rashtrapati Bhavan in a Fortuner car used by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi under the strict supervision of the special security force Special Protection Group (SPG).

The meeting took place in Conference Suite 2 of Rashtrapati Bhavan, just before Putin’s meeting with the Indian President. After the meeting with Sheikh Hasina, Putin went directly to the inner room to join his pre-scheduled talks with the Indian President.

Sources say that no one else was present at Sheikh Hasina’s meeting with Putin.
