Threats, cases and tensions from foreign numbers: detailed analysis
In the political and social context of Bangladesh, it is often seen that tension is created around various events and activities. Recently one such incident started when the police registered a case naming 65 people for anti-state activities. The second accused in the case, Mithun Dhali, who is alleged to be associated with a banned outfit, threatened to kill an important police official the very next day. The incident has caused concern not only at the local level, but nationally.
Background to the filing of the case
Last Thursday, the police registered a case alleging anti-state activities. In the case, it was mentioned that the accused were trying to disrupt law and order and create chaos in the area. The names of 65 people are directly mentioned in this list. The police alleged that their activities could create unrest within the country as well as destroy peace and order.
Allegations of anti-state activities are not uncommon in Bangladesh. This is not only serious from a legal point of view, but is also considered a major threat to national security. As a result, the case naturally gave rise to widespread discussion.
Role of Gemini Dhali
The second accused in this case is Mithun Dhali. It is alleged against him that he tried to create unrest in the area with some of the leaders and activists of the banned organization. More worryingly, the day after the case was filed (Friday, October 3) he called Mainul, the OC of the concerned police station, using a foreign number and threatened to kill him. It is alleged that he threatened to kill not only the OC, but also the country's chief adviser.
Such actions cannot be seen as mere threats. As evidenced by the use of foreign numbers, this activity is not only at the local level; Rather, it may take place through an international network or communication.
Police position and response
About the threat, OC Mainul clearly said that Mithun Dhali was trying to create chaos in the area with the members of the banned organization. Immediately after receiving the threat from the foreign number, he informed the higher officials about the matter. As per their suggestion, a General Diary (GD) was made in this incident.
Police have already started operations to arrest the accused. Law enforcement officials believe that not only a single person, but a larger gang may be involved in this incident.
Using Foreign Numbers: Mystery or Trick?
One of the most important aspects of the case is the issue of threats using foreign numbers. This brings up a few issues:
- Indications for International Communication:
Threats using foreign SIMs or online calling apps could mean they have ties to an international organization or diaspora group.
- Try to make it harder to spot:
Using a local number would have been easy to track. But using a foreign number makes it difficult to determine the source of the call. - Psychological stress:
Threats like this to the police and high-ranking people in the government put extra pressure on them. At the same time, it is possible to spread panic among the general public.
Legal context of anti-state activities
Anti-state activity is considered a very serious crime in Bangladesh. The Penal Code and special laws provide for severe punishment for such offences. Anyone found guilty of conspiracy against the state, inciting violence or threatening law enforcement can face a maximum sentence of up to death.
social influence
In such an event, it is normal to spread anxiety among the common people. Whenever there is a threat to kill the country's law-enforcement force or someone at the top of the state, it unsettles not only the administration but the entire population. People think, if police officers are not safe, how safe are ordinary citizens?
Analysis: Why are such incidents increasing?
Attempts to revive banned organizations can sometimes be seen in Bangladesh. The reasons may be—
Political instability or attempts to take advantage
Contact with international terrorist networks
Use of social media and online platforms
Misleading the youth
The case of Gemini Dhali may be a reflection of that cycle.
to be done
1. Quick arrest of the accused:
The law and order forces should arrest Mithun Dhali quickly with utmost importance.
2. Tracking Foreign Number:
The source of the call must be identified through international cooperation. Interpol assistance may be sought if necessary.
3. Monitoring Prohibited Organisations:
Intelligence activities should be strengthened to prevent the resurgence of banned organizations at the local level.
৪. Raising public awareness:
The public should be vigilant and report any suspicious activity to law enforcement immediately.
Mithun Dhali's threat to kill the OC of the police station and the country's chief advisor using a foreign number is not a mere threat, but an indication of a deeper conspiracy. Such threats come in the context of cases filed for anti-state activities, proving that some groups are still active in the country and outside the country who want to destabilize law and order.
Bangladesh today is moving forward on the path of development and progress. At this time, the administration as well as the people must be careful to prevent the activities of anti-state groups. Proper enforcement of law, intelligence activity and public awareness—only these three will be able to counter such conspiracies.
