Sheikh Hasina has resigned as Bangladesh's Prime Minister, fleeing to India with her sister Sheikh Rehana as violent protests erupted in Dhaka. Thousands defied curfews, stormed Hasina's palace, and vandalized the statue of her father, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. The unrest, which began over job quotas, has turned deadly, with at least 98 killed on a single day, bringing the total to over 300 since July. Security forces struggled to contain the chaos, and protests now demand Hasina's resignation, marking one of the most intense periods of her 15-year tenure.
