00:00People in Dhaka visited the looted residence of Bangladesh's former Prime Minister Sheikh
00:09Hasina on Tuesday, a day after she resigned, and fled the country following violent protests
00:15demanding her ouster.
00:17People were seen roaming through hollowed-out rooms littered with damaged furniture and
00:21shattered glass, left by jubilant protesters who stormed unopposed into the premises on
00:27Monday.
00:47Elsewhere in Dhaka, residents inspected a defaced monument where protesters had toppled
00:53a statue of Hasina's father, state founder Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
00:58Nearly 300 people were killed in weeks of violence across the country that began last
01:03month after student groups demanded scrapping of a controversial quota system in government
01:08jobs.
01:09That escalated into a campaign to seek the ouster of Hasina, who won a fourth straight
01:14term in January in an election boycotted by the opposition.
