An audio clip recently surfaced on the Facebook account of Assistant Press Secretary Fayez Ahmed, revealing a conversation involving Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. In the clip, Hasina can be heard instructing authorities to “shoot directly” whenever possible.
During the conversation, an intelligence officer inquired whether suspects could be arrested overnight based on photographic evidence. Hasina responded, “I have ordered all of them to be arrested at night.” The intelligence officer then acknowledged the instruction.
Hasina further stated, “I have instructed the RAB, DGFI, and everyone else to capture as many as possible.” She added, “Wherever gatherings are spotted, take action from above—we have already started in some locations.”
Upon learning about movements near Mohammadpur Police Station, Hasina directed RAB to be sent to the area. She then gave an explicit order, saying, “I have issued an open directive—use lethal weapons, shoot on sight.”
The conversation raises serious concerns regarding the government’s handling of security operations.
