Enraged protesters stormed Bangladesh PM House and were spotted inside the ex-PM Hasina Wajid’s bedroom.
The video was shared by senior journalist Sabir Shakir on X.

Local media reported that as many as 400,000 people were on the streets after the fall of the Hasina-led government, according to a careful estimate. However, it was impossible to verify the figure.
The Hasina government collapsed on the back of riots — one of the worst in the country’s history of 50-odd years.
Almost 300 people were killed and thousands of others injured in the recent violence that started in early July. Sunday became the deadliest as 98 people, including 14 police officers, were killed in the unrest.
Notably, Hasina has served as Bangladesh’s prime minister since 2009. Sheikh Mujib ur Rehman’s daughter rose as a pro democracy icon, however, with time she has been accused of autocracy and involvement in enforced disappearances, extrajudicial killings and curbing of opposition forces to her rule.
