Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina resigned and left the country, with her flight landing in India at 5:36 pm on Monday. Her departure marks the end of her 15-year rule, following weeks of anti-government violence that resulted in over 300 deaths. Hasina's flight touched down at Hindon Air Force Station in Ghaziabad.

Earlier reports indicated that thousands of protesters had stormed her official residence, Ganabhaban, in Dhaka. In response, Hasina, 76, and her sister, Sheikh Rehana, were moved to a "safe location."

General Waker-Uz-Zaman, Bangladesh's army chief, announced that an interim government would take over. He assured that the military would step back and promised to investigate the lethal crackdown on student protesters.

Key Developments:

• Sheikh Hasina resigned and fled to India, landing at Hindon air base near Delhi. In response to the unrest in Bangladesh, the BSF issued a high alert along the India-Bangladesh border, and train services to border areas were suspended.

• Bangladesh's army chief, General Waker-Uz-Zaman, stated that an interim government would take charge. "We will investigate all the killings and punish those responsible," he said at a press conference, urging students to remain calm and assist in maintaining order.

• Sources told India Today TV that many supporters of Bangladesh's Awami League might infiltrate Agartala within 48 hours. The Army Chief held talks with leaders of various political parties, including the ruling Awami League and the opposition BNP.

• Amid the chaos, a mob vandalized a statue of Sheikh Hasina's father, former Bangladesh President Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, in Dhaka.

• Former Indian Ambassador Harsh Vardhan Shringla suggested that foreign powers might be involved in the unrest.

• Protests began peacefully in late June, with students demanding an end to a quota system for government jobs. However, they turned violent following clashes at Dhaka University, leading to nearly 300 deaths and calls for Hasina's resignation.

• Despite a nationwide curfew, thousands of protesters continued to march in defiance. In Dhaka, demonstrators marched past armored vehicles and heavily armed security personnel.

• Protesters stormed Hasina's official residence, shouting slogans and showing victory signs. Some carried away items from the residence, one of the most protected buildings in the country.

• The protests escalated on July 16, when student activists clashed with security officials, prompting authorities to use tear gas, fire rubber bullets, impose a curfew, and cut off internet and mobile data services.
