Commission to thoroughly investigate 2009 BDR mutiny: Fazlur Rahman

Chairman of the newly-formed National Independent Commission Major General (retd) ALM Fazlur Rahman has announced his commission's commitment to thoroughly investigate the BDR mutiny that took place on February 25, 2009.

"This is a national issue, an event of unprecedented magnitude. The scale of the tragedy is unparalleled, and we are committed to ensuring a comprehensive investigation into the events of that fateful day," he said while speaking after the commission's inaugural meeting at the Bangladesh Border Guard (BGB) headquarters in Dhaka, reports UNB.

The commission's primary task is to uncover both domestic and foreign conspiracies surrounding the deadly incident at the Bangladesh Rifles (BDR-now BGB) headquarters in Pilkhana of the capital that left 74 people, including 57 army officials, dead. 

The commission, which has been given a three-month timeframe, will adopt an impartial approach, striving to conduct the investigation without any external influence. "We will use our intellect and dedication to complete the investigation within the given period," the Commission chief assured.

Fazlur Rahman also promised to address the suffering of those affected by the mutiny. "We aim to address the plight of those who were killed, tortured, and deprived in the aftermath. With compassion and sincerity, we will endeavour to heal their wounds."

The Commission head outlined the logistical and security requirements essential for their work, including the provision of administrative facilities, office space, and transport arrangements.

The investigation into the 2009 mutiny is poised to uncover the full scope of the event's domestic and international implications, with the commission pledging a transparent and empathetic inquiry into one of Bangladesh's most tragic episodes.
