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.
