How did Sheikh Hasina respond to allegations about police violence during the Bangladesh student protests?

Sheikh Hasina firmly rejected claims that many protesters were killed by police firing during the student protests in Bangladesh. Speaking at a virtual meeting with widows of slain policemen, she defended law enforcement, stating that officers showed 'maximum restraint' and only took action when they themselves were attacked. Hasina specifically countered accusations made by the Austrian prime minister against Mohammed Yunus, who was accused of protecting those responsible for violence. Her defense of police actions reflects her broader stance that security forces acted appropriately during the civil unrest.
