Additionally, the Awami League president’s office at Dhanmondi-3 was also torched by angry crowds.
By 4pm, protesters had set fire to the Dhaka district unit Awami League office. Shortly after, at around 5pm, Sudha Sadan in Dhanmondi, the residence of Dr Wajed Miah, Sheikh Hasina’s late husband, was also set on fire and vandalised.
The Awami League central office on Bangabandhu Avenue was set ablaze shortly after 4pm. The residence of the Chief Justice on 19 Hare Road also came under attack from protesters.
Sheikh Hasina resigned earlier today and left the country for Agartala in India via helicopter, according to Indian media.
