Thousands of Bangladeshi protesters defied the curfew and stormed the Prime Minister's residence in Dhaka following reports that Sheikh Hasina had resigned and fled the country. Celebratory crowds waving flags took to the streets before hundreds breached the gates of her official residence. The demonstrators also defaced the statue of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, Hasina's father and country's first president, in the national capital.
