Full investigation into BDR carnage to start soon

Interim government's Home Affairs Adviser Lt Gen (retd) Md. Jahangir Alam Chowdhury on Monday said full investigation into and fair trial for the BDR (now BGB) killings will commence shortly.

He said this while talking to reporters at his office at the Secretariat, reports UNB.

"The current government is committed to upholding the rights of the people by ensuring good governance, and establishing justice," said the adviser.

"Not only as a Home Adviser, but also as a common citizen and former member of the Bangladesh Army, I want justice for the BDR killings," he added.

On 25-26 February 2009, a mutiny in the then Bangladesh Rifles (BDR) left 74 people, including 57 army officers, murdered at the Pilkhana Headquarters.
