The claims made in the tweet and video about the involvement of law enforcement agencies like the police, RAB, and BGB in violent altercations, resulting in severe injuries and calls for justice, are supported by multiple sources. According to a detailed report by The Daily Star, there have been numerous incidents where law enforcement agencies used excessive force against demonstrators, leading to significant casualties and injuries. The report highlights that over 200 people were killed and thousands injured by indiscriminate firing by the police and BGB during recent protests. Additionally, there are accounts of law enforcement using helicopters to fire on crowds, further corroborating the claims of severe violence and the need for accountability. The government's denial of these actions and the insistence that no permission was given to shoot at people contradicts the documented evidence of the brutality faced by demonstrators. The situation has led to widespread calls for justice and thorough investigations into the actions of the law enforcement agencies involved The Daily Star.
