Tension Erupts in Bangladesh After Alleged Audio Leak Ties PM Hasina to Shoot on Sight Orders
The city is on edge. Since early morning, rumors were flying about the PM Hasina audio leak. By 9 am, it was everywhere — WhatsApp groups, Facebook pages, even college dorms. A woman’s voice, calm but chilling:
“If they cross, shoot on sight.”
People are saying it’s the Prime Minister, Sheikh Hasina. No one knows for sure. But the timing couldn’t be worse.
Thousands have been protesting across Dhaka, angry over election issues, arrests, food prices — everything boiling over. And now, this leak. The voice orders police to fire without warning if protesters cross the “red zone.”
No press conference. No statement from the PMO. Just silence. And more fear.
University Students First to React to PM Hasina Audio Leak
By noon, protests at Dhaka University turned violent. Tear gas, rubber bullets, batons. A 22-year-old student, Arman, was shot in the leg. His friend, crying outside the hospital, said,
“He had no weapon. Just a placard.”
Rumors spread fast — some say two are dead, some say more. We couldn’t confirm exact numbers. But we saw ambulances, stretchers, blood on T-shirts.
Streets Go Quiet, Online Goes Loud
Shops shut early in Mohammadpur. Internet slowed down in parts of Dhaka. Several activists said their posts were deleted or their accounts locked.
“I just posted the audio and my Instagram went blank,” said Riya, a student activist. “This isn’t just suppression. It’s fear with a microphone.”
Opposition Blames Government
BNP leaders jumped in fast. Press conference by afternoon. They claimed the voice is “definitely Hasina.”
“It’s a war on her own people,” said one senior leader.
They demanded an international investigation, and said the UN must step in now.
Public Trust Erodes After PM Hasina Audio Leak
We spoke to six people in Gulshan and Dhanmondi. Every single one said the same thing: even if it’s fake, why isn’t she denying it?
Hasina supporters say this is a smear campaign. But no official audio expert has verified or denied the clip. The country is waiting, but no one is breathing easy.
A Dangerous Silence
By sunset, the streets looked empty, but the air was thick. Army vans were seen outside two colleges. In Old Dhaka, people were whispering — “Is it going to get worse tonight?”
No one knows.
And that’s what makes this even scarier.
