In a grotesque display of selective amnesia and self-preservation, the anarchist elements who orchestrated the July 2024 bloodbath—deliberately targeting and slaughtering police officers starting as early as July 19 to shatter their morale and pave the way for regime change—are now trembling in fear as the new government finally signals a probe into those cold-blooded murders.
The regime’s announcement of “swift and impartial” investigations into the brutal murder of dozens of police officers during the uprising has sent shockwaves through the ranks of student leaders tied to the National Citizen Party (NCP)—a thinly veiled front for Islami Chhatra Shibir operatives—and Jamaat-e-Islami, who masterminded much of the violence.
These so-called “revolutionaries,” now comfortably ensconced in power, are scrambling to justify the carnage, insisting the killings were “necessary” to oust the Awami League government. Their panic is palpable: they know full accountability could expose their direct role in the atrocities and threaten their fragile grip on authority.
The Human Toll: Officers hunted and butchered
The brutality against police was calculated and savage, designed to crush morale and dismantle state authority. Official records confirm 44 officers killed nationwide, many in premeditated mob attacks starting July 19. Methods included savage beatings, hackings, slaughtering, hangings from bridges, burnings, and lynchings—even when officers tried to surrender or hide.

The Canada-based Global Centre for Democratic Governance (GCDG), however, suggests the number may exceed this, with 187 officers still missing post-movement.
The single deadliest massacre struck Enayetpur Police Station in Sirajganj on August 4, where 15 officers (including OC Md. Abdur Razzak) were dragged out, beaten to death (13 on the spot, others succumbing later), bodies stripped, mutilated, and piled near a mosque or thrown into ponds—witnesses described sheer horror as attackers showed no mercy.
Other nightmares:
– In Jatrabari, Dhaka, officers like Naik Md. Gias Uddin were lynched and hanged from the Rayerbag footbridge on July 19—his body left dangling as a warning.
– Inspector Md. Masud Parvez Bhuiyan was hacked to death in Rampura while off-duty, his body covered in wounds.
– Sub-Inspector Santosh Chowdhury was handed over to a frenzied mob (with some reports implicating army negotiators in failed surrenders) and lynched.
These were not random clashes—they were targeted executions by coordinated groups, including Shibir-linked elements, Hefazat, Hizb ut-Tahrir, JMB, Jama’atul Ansar, and even foreign-tied actors from Lashkar-e-Taiba/Jamaat-ud-Dawa networks, per confessions and intelligence. Former army deserters joined the fray, slaughtering police alongside Awami League members and civilians.

Exposed: The fraudulent farce of July Warriors
The police—duty-bound men with families—were dehumanised to break the force’s will. Their widows and children still wait for justice, while the perpetrators (now in power or shielded) rewrite the narrative as “necessary revolution.” This probe must honour these fallen heroes by exposing the full truth—no more impunity for those who hunted uniforms like prey.
Indemnity Shielded Killers For 18 Months
For nearly two years, these murderers enjoyed blanket immunity under ordinances from the interim puppet regime, which shielded “movement participants” while unleashing a witch hunt against police and former officials.
Over 2,000 cases piled up against Sheikh Hasina, Awami League leaders, and 1,168 police personnel—including 612 murder charges—yet only five cases were filed for the police killings. No real justice, no arrests, just endless delays.

Now, with Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmed vowing no one will escape accountability and Local Government Minister Mirza Fakhrul promising quick action, the tide may turn. Police sources hold video footage, witness accounts, and evidence of the orchestrated attacks—enough to name names if the probe is truly impartial.
NCP-Shibir Puppets Scramble To Defend The Indefensible
NCP figures like Convener Nahid Islam—long accused of Shibir ties—are desperately reframing the narrative: prioritise protester deaths first, reform the “entire police force” (blaming them collectively), and downplay the lynchings as collateral in a “necessary” revolution. Their fear is justified—true justice could unravel the myth of a “peaceful uprising” and expose how Shibir-linked anarchists, backed by jihadist networks, hijacked the movement to install this illegitimate order.
The police—ordinary men and women who stood on duty amid unimaginable violence—deserve far more than lip service. They were hunted like animals to break Bangladesh’s spine. Their widows, orphans, and wounded comrades watch this “probe” with guarded hope, knowing the real anarchists now hold power and will fight tooth and nail to bury the truth.
This is not about revenge—it’s about basic humanity. The fallen officers were not oppressors; they were victims of a calculated terror campaign by extremists who now lecture on “democracy.” If the regime truly believes in justice, let the confessions, footage, and evidence speak. Anything less is complicity in murder. The nation cannot heal while the killers of its protectors walk free, rewriting history to crown themselves heroes. Shame on those who glorify police blood as the price of power.
