Dhaka, December 27, 2024: Bangladesh has established a National Independent Commission to thoroughly investigate the 2009 Bangladesh Rifles (BDR) mutiny, focusing on both domestic and foreign conspiracies that may have contributed to the incident. The commission, chaired by Major General (Retd) ALM Fazlur Rahman, aims to uncover the underlying causes and identify all parties involved.
The BDR mutiny, which occurred on February 25, 2009, resulted in the deaths of numerous army officers and members of their families. The new commission’s primary task is to uncover both domestic and foreign conspiracies surrounding the deadly incident at the Bangladesh Rifles (BDR) headquarters in Dhaka.
This investigation is part of a broader effort by the interim government, led by Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus, to address past political upheavals and ensure justice for all victims. The commission has been given a three-month deadline to conduct a comprehensive probe into the mutiny.
