India has suspended all train services with Bangladesh following escalating turmoil in the neighboring country, according to an Indian Railways spokesperson on August 5.

The suspension comes in the wake of a dramatic turn of events in Bangladesh, where Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina fled the country amidst intense protests. The unrest, triggered by widespread dissatisfaction with job quotas, led to violent demonstrations that saw Hasina's residence stormed by protesters.

In response to the crisis, Bangladesh's military chief, Waker uz Zaman, addressed the nation, promising that the military would assist in establishing an interim government. Despite these assurances, uncertainty remains as Hasina's exact location after her departure by helicopter remains unknown, fueling ongoing speculation in the media.

The protests have resulted in over 300 deaths, highlighting the severe impact of the unrest on the nation.
