Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has resigned and fled to India amid escalating protests. Thousands of demonstrators stormed her official residence in Dhaka, leading to chaotic scenes and significant violence. The protests, sparked by demands for quota reforms and Hasina’s resignation, have claimed over 300 lives and caused widespread disruption. Reports from Reuters and Prothom Alo confirm that Hasina, along with her sister Rehana, departed in a military helicopter and arrived in West Bengal. The unrest has led to the shutdown of 3,500 garment factories and mass arrests, further intensifying the crisis.
