Hundreds of protesters stormed Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's official residence, Ganabhaban, as her whereabouts remained unknown. Defying a military curfew, demonstrators ransacked the building, looting items including chicken, fish, vegetables, saree and furniture. The invasion follows weeks of violent demonstrations and clashes with security forces. The protests, initially peaceful, began in late June with students demanding the abolition of a quota system for government jobs. Tensions escalated after violent confrontations between protesters, police, and pro-government activists at Dhaka University. Footage broadcast by Bangladesh's Channel24 showed jubilant protesters breaking into Hasina's residence, some waving to cameras as they streamed into the compound. The chaotic scenes mark a dramatic turn in the ongoing political crisis. With Hasina’s resignation and departure, Bangladesh faces a critical juncture, as the nation awaits further developments amid the continued unrest.
