As the day progressed, the violence escalated. Crowds set fires, removed furniture, and even pulled raw fish from the refrigerators in the residence. The mob looted a wide range of items, including cattle, television sets, gym equipment, and a blue Dior suitcase.

Amidst mounting pressure and violent protests, Sheikh Hasina resigned from her position as Prime Minister on Monday. She fled Dhaka and landed at the Hindon Air Base near Delhi, India. Hasina and her sister were evacuated from Ganabhaban in a military helicopter.
