In an address to the nation, the army chief announced that an interim government will now run Bangladesh and called for calm.

Ms Hasina, who ruled the country for close to two decades, boarded a military helicopter on Monday, an aide told Al Jazeera, as huge crowds ignored a national curfew to storm her palace in Dhaka.
