Trial of Sheikh Hasina and others
Court 1 Case no 2/2025 Trial Day 14 19th Sept 2025 Back to Trial page
Witness 44: Rokunzaman
Evidence given by Rokunzaman
My name is Rokunzaman, Father- Mohammad Ali, Mother- Helena Begum, age- 43 years, address Village- Namai Karager Char, Post Office- Mathkhola, Police Station Pakundia, District- Kishoreganj.
Currently, I am working as a Police Inspector in the Digital Forensic Lab of CID Dhaka. On 15/09/2025 AD, I received one DVDR and one Hard Drive as evidence from the Special Investigating Officer of this case. The DVDR contains a disputed audio file, and the Hard Drive contains a sample file. I provided an opinion after examining and analyzing the said evidence. At the same time, I also supplied the transcript. The voice of a female contained in the DVDR matches the sample voice stored in the Hard Drive, which is the voice of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. This is that copy of the opinion (Exhibit 19). These are my signatures on that copy (Exhibit 19/1 Series). The original report is with me.
This is my deposition.
[Amir Hossain asked for time to gather knowledge, crucial evidence. Prosecutor Mizanur Rahman: But he should also have had a problem examining P.W. 42 if he did not have knowledge. Judge said he did not understand why. Amir Hossain said it was essential. Prosecutor Mizanur Rahman asked the judge to please “let him do it (now), let us see later (if he has issues), he can examine the Investigating Officer about the technicalities.]”
