Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Commissioner Sheikh Mohammad Sajjat Ali has instructed officers to open fire on anyone attempting to set vehicles ablaze or hurl explosives such as cocktails. The directive, issued via radio communication on Sunday, November 16, comes amid heightened security concerns ahead of a tribunal verdict scheduled for Monday against former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on charges of crimes against humanity. According to DMP officials, the commissioner emphasized that police have legal authority to use lethal force if lives or property are endangered. The order follows recent violent incidents in Chattogram, where the city’s police commissioner also authorized officers to shoot armed criminals. Authorities fear that banned pro-Awami League groups, including the Awami League itself and its student wing, may attempt to create unrest surrounding the verdict announcement. The directive underscores the government’s zero-tolerance stance toward potential violence and public disorder in the capital.
