SUMMARY

Bangladesh's prime minister, Sheikh Hasina, has reportedly resigned amid weeks of deadly protests. She and her sister have fled to India via a military helicopter for "safe shelter." The protests began over a quota system for government jobs, leading to violence that resulted in at least 95 deaths, including 14 police officers, in clashes on Sunday.

Calls for accountability from the government have intensified, with demonstrators demanding her resignation after over 200 deaths last month. Hasina has led the country since 2009. Further updates on the situation are expected.
