Facing mass protests for days, Hasina left Dhaka on August 5. She first flew to Kurmiltola by helicopter and then possibly took an aircraft. The BSF has issued a high alert, and the Director General has arrived in Kolkata.
Bangladesh Army Chief Waker-uz-Zaman announced that an interim government will be formed in Bangladesh. “PM Hasina has resigned; an interim government will run the country. We will restore peace. We ask citizens to stop the violence. We will investigate all the killings over the past few weeks,” Waker-uz-Zaman said in his address to the nation.

On Monday, protesters stormed Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s palace after she fled, marking the peak of over a month of deadly anti-government protests.
Jubilant crowds waved flags, with some dancing on top of a tank in the streets of Dhaka on Monday morning, before hundreds broke through the gates of Hasina’s official residence.
Protesters in Dhaka also climbed atop a large statue of independence leader Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, Hasina’s father, and began chiselling away at the head with an axe, as shown in the visuals.
