The protesters were closing in. Thousands had defied a curfew, pushed through police barricades and poured into the heart of the capital, Dhaka, enraged by the killing of nearly 100 protesters the day before.

A helicopter whisked her to an airfield, where she boarded the military plane that would take her out of the country.

Waker-uz-Zaman, the Bangladesh Army chief of staff, announced her departure and said he would request the formation of an interim government.

Bangladesh’s army has a history of staging coups and counter coups. Her father, Bangladesh’s first leader, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, as well as much of her family, was killed in a deadly military coup in 1975. On Sunday, the army’s chief, Gen.
