Student-led protest

A massive crowd of protesters on Monday (August 5) stormed the former Bangladesh prime minister Sheikh Hasina's official residence 'Ganabhaban', shouting slogans, pumping fists and showing victory signs amid her resignation.

Crowds were seen in the drawing rooms of the residence in capital Dhaka, and some people could be seen carrying away televisions, chairs and tables from what was one of the most protected buildings in the country.
