Following brutal murder of Army Officers inside Bangladesh Riffles [BDR] Headquarters during February 25 and 26, a case was lodged with Lalbagh Police Station by officer-in-charge Nabojyoti Khisha. Main accused in the case is one of the kingpins of the brutality, Towhidul Alam, former deputy assistant director of BDR.

It was naturally expected that after such tragic brutality in the history of Bangladesh, the ruling government might have shown minimum sincerity in at least investigating the case through neutral hands, so that perpetrators, belonging to any quarter, would be identified for trial.

Was it BDR troop mutiny or pre-planned murder?

Although members of media in Bangladesh and elsewhere were initially confused in giving the correct name to what happened during February 25-26 inside the Bangladesh Riffles headquarters at Pilkhana in Dhaka. Some said, it is mutiny, some said otherwise. But, as the information of the entire episode is gradually getting public, it is becoming crystal clear that the entire episode was pre-planned murder of the officers of Bangladesh army. To understand the conspiracy behind, we have to evaluate some facts as well some statements of several politicians and so-called intellectuals of this country..
