Across Bangladesh, incidents of police shootings, mob violence, and arson led to the death of at least 135 individuals on Monday, as reported by Dhaka Tribune. The government confirmed that the confrontations between protesters and Awami League members resulted in 96 fatalities due to police fire. In the outskirts of the capital, in areas like Savar and Dhamrai, at least 18 people were killed following clashes between law enforcement and troublemakers. Additionally, 50 individuals were injured as police responded with tear gas and live ammunition, with locals noting that several journalists were among the injured.
In Uttara, Dhaka, at least 10 people were killed and many more wounded when unidentified individuals in civilian attire fired upon protesters from the vicinity of Uttara East police station. This led to a mob setting the police station ablaze in retaliation. Dhaka Medical College Hospital received 37 bodies between 11 am and 8 pm, as reported by Prothom Alo, along with three unidentified individuals with gunshot wounds, whose origins remain unknown. The hospital also treated 500 individuals with various injuries, including gunshot wounds, with 70 admitted for further care.
Protests escalated as demonstrators attacked the Jatrabari police station. In Sreepur, Gazipur, BGB personnel engaged with protesters who had obstructed BGB vehicles, resulting in six casualties. Celebratory marches were observed in Chittagong following reports of Sheikh Hasina's departure from Bangladesh.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina resigned amidst escalating protests, primarily from students opposing the government job quota system, transforming into broader anti-government demonstrations. She arrived in India after resigning, with her next destination unclear, though there are speculations of a move to London. In response to the crisis, the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement proposed an interim government headed by Nobel Laureate Dr. Muhammad Yunus, as announced by student leaders Nahid Islam, Asif Mahmud, and Abu Bakar Mazumdar.
