The house of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman at Dhanmondi 32 in Dhaka has mostly been reduced to rubble.
By 8am on Thursday, the front portion of the building had been largely torn down, and a bulldozer continued to demolish the three-storey house.
A yellow bulldozer was brought in the previous night, while a blue one was seen in the morning.
The boundary wall and much of the front part of the house were being dismantled.
Curious onlookers were gathered at the scene, but unlike the previous night, there were no protesters – only the relentless sound of heavy machinery.
According to those present, demolition work will continue until the remaining structure is levelled.
Earlier, on Wednesday evening, angry students started gathering in front of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman’s residence.
Around 8pm, they stormed the house, and as the crowd grew they vandalized the property and set it on fire.
The mural of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman at the entrance was also completely destroyed.
Then before 11pm, a bulldozer was brought in.
In the morning, the surrounding area remained calm, with only a few people clearing debris and journalists broadcasting live updates.
One bystander, who had come out of curiosity after the Fajr prayer, said he wanted to witness the aftermath firsthand.
The attack followed an announcement that ousted prime minister Sheikh Hasina – who fled to India in August amid protests – would be joining a virtual session with members of the banned organization Chhatra League.
In response, the July Revolutionary Alliance declared a march toward Dhanmondi.
Before the vandalism, enraged students declared that they would not allow any trace of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman or his daughter Sheikh Hasina in the country.
They added that they did not want any fascist remnants of those involved in student killings in Bangladesh. Hasina must be brought back to the country and punished immediately, they demanded.
