Home Adviser Jahangir Alam Chowdhury said he has not reviewed firearm age laws during a Monday press meeting. A reporter asked about young adviser Asif Mahmud carrying a gun at 26 years old. Current laws require people to reach 30 before getting gun permits. The home adviser could not answer questions about this matter. He needs to study the regulations first.
Government rules allow some high-ranking officials to skip age requirements for weapons. Officials holding minister-level positions can get special permission for guns. Many people question why government advisers need personal firearms. Critics wonder about the training young officials receive for weapon handling. Social media users have raised safety concerns about the situation.
Airport workers found an empty gun magazine inside Asif Mahmud's bag on Sunday morning. The adviser removed the item and gave it to his personal assistant. Security staff discovered the magazine during a third security check. The item passed through two earlier screenings without detection. This incident sparked online criticism and safety discussions.
Jahangir called the magazine discovery a simple error on Monday. He compared the mistake to someone grabbing a phone instead of glasses before leaving home. The adviser stated Asif would never carry weapon parts knowingly. Security officials confirmed the magazine came from a pistol rather than a rifle. People had been guessing about different weapon types online.
The home adviser acknowledged that important officials sometimes receive different treatment during security checks. Airport staff have received new instructions to apply rules equally to everyone. The magazine slipped past multiple security rounds before detection. This raises questions about current airport safety procedures. Officials promise stricter enforcement of security rules moving forward.
