At 10:50 PM, a crane arrived at Dhanmondi 32. A student procession was in front and behind the crane. Chants of ‘Tear it down!’ echoed as the crane stood in front of the house. Students and online activists participating in the movement announced that destruction would take place at 32 during the exact time Hasina delivers her speech. People had already gathered by 8 PM and started vandalizing. By 9 PM, fire had broken out! Hasnat Abdullah wrote, ‘Tonight, Bangladesh will be freed from the pilgrimage site of fascism.’
