A leaked audio, verified by the BBC, reveals Sheikh Hasina ordered lethal force against protesters during last year's uprising. Her son, Sajeeb Wazed Joy, claimed the audio was from the 2016 Holey Artisan attack, but references in the clip contradicted him. After intense public criticism and mockery on social media, Joy deleted his post. Journalists and citizens accused him of lying and acknowledged the voice in the audio as Hasina's. The incident has reignited debates over state violence and accountability.
