DHAKA, Aug 10 (Reuters) - Bangladesh's chief justice and central bank governor
have resigned, officials said on Saturday, as student protests that forced Prime
Minister Sheikh Hasina to flee have widened to target more officials appointed
during her time in office.
Chief Justice Obaidul Hassan resigned, the law ministry's adviser Asif Nazrul
said in a Facebook video post, after students warned him of "dire consequences"
if he did not. Reuters could not immediately contact Hassan.

Nazrul, an adviser in the new caretaker government, urged protesters to remain
peaceful. "Don't damage any public property," he said in the post.
Bangladesh Bank Governor Abdur Rouf Talukder has also resigned but his
resignation has not been accepted given the importance of the position, finance
ministry adviser Salehuddin Ahmed told reporters. Reuters could not contact
Talukder.
Days earlier, four deputy governors were forced to resign after about 300 to 400
bank officials protested against what they said was corruption by top officials.

The vice chancellor of Dhaka University, A.S.M. Maksud Kamal, has also resigned,
the university said. Reuters was unable to contact Kamal.
The university has been the epicentre of deadly protests that escalated in July
against quotas in government jobs before morphing into an oust-Hasina campaign.
Hasina has been sheltering in New Delhi since Monday following the uprising that
killed about 300 people, many of them students, ending her uninterrupted rule of
15 years in the South Asian nation of 170 million people.

Since her departure, the country has also seen the appointment of a new police
chief as part of a shake-up of the security top brass that also included a new
head of the technical intelligence monitoring agency and changes among senior
army officials.
