In pictures: Demolition of Dhanmondi-32 residence
Protesters demolished the Dhanmondi-32 residence of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, after calls in social media event titled "Bulldozer Procession".
Hundreds of protesters stormed the building and began taking it apart with shovels and hammers around 8:00pm on Wednesday.
By around 9:30pm, the building was set on fire. A little before midnight, at least one crane and one excavator reached the spot and joined the demolition.
After a brief pause, protesters restarted the demolition after dawn today. At 7:45am, our photographer on-site reported that the overnight demonstration had resumed, with hundreds gathered at the location.
