The unprecedented political crisis in Bangladesh spiralled out as Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina fled the country in military helicopter while her residence in Dhaka was stormed by mobs. She has left for political asylum outside the country. Her first stop is India and she might head for London thereon according to reports. Bangladesh's army chief Waker-Uz-Zaman addressed the nation and announced formation of an interim government. The latest round of clashes has left around 98 people dead and scores of others injured with the government once again imposing curfew from Sunday to control the situation. As Hasina fled, people stormed into her residence and started looting. The death toll since July in the protests is over 300, said reports.
