Reports indicate that Sheikh Hasina and her sister were flown to India in a military helicopter from the Prime Minister’s official residence, Ganabhaban. Although Hasina intended to record a farewell speech, she was unable to do so due to the urgency of the situation.

In response to the unrest, demonstrators stormed Prime Minister Hasina’s residence, prompting a significant deployment of police and military forces to maintain order on the streets.

As a result of the escalating situation, an indefinite curfew has been imposed across Bangladesh to restore peace and prevent further violence.
