Video claiming Sheikh Hasina's evacuation from Delhi to Prayagraj is fake

Recently, a video surfaced on social media showing a convoy of vehicles, with claims that the Indian government had evacuated former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina from Delhi to Allahabad (now Prayagraj). This followed her statement about returning to her country.

However, the PTI Fact Check Desk investigated and found the claim to be false. The viral video is old and unrelated; it actually shows a convoy of a Chhattisgarh government official. The video was falsely shared on social media, claiming that the Indian government recently provided high security to Hasina for her travel from Delhi to Prayagraj.
