Huge crowds of people stormed Hasina's official residence in Dhaka on Monday, and looting and riots also took place in the capital.
Student protests began in July with calls to abolish quotas for government positions, but turned into demands for Hasina to resign after 15 years in power. Students took to the streets demanding to change the system, in which a third of jobs in the state sector are reserved for relatives of veterans of the 1971 war of independence from Pakistan.
Canceled in 2018 by the government of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, the quota system was reinstated by a lower court in June, which sparked violent protests. The students called the existing procedure discrimination and demanded that the hiring process be based on the qualifications of each individual candidate.
On Monday, a crowd of several thousand stormed inside "Ganabhaban", the Prime Minister's residence. Footage appeared showing demonstrators trashing the prime minister's residence. Some of the protestors take chairs and, it seems, a sofa out of it.
On Sunday, at least 90 people died in clashes between the police and the participants of the protests, which demanded the resignation of Sheikh Hasina. Among the dead are 13 policemen. They were killed in an attack on a police station in the city of Sirajganj, 100 km north of Dhaka.

The commander of the country's army said that an interim government and new elections would be announced, although no details have yet been provided. Student leaders declared that they would not accept a government led by the military.
