Lieutenant General (Retd.) Masud Uddin Chowdhury and Lieutenant General (Retd.) Sheikh Mamun Khaled, both key figures of Bangladesh’s 1/11 interim government, are providing contradictory and evasive statements while in police remand. Mamun Khaled, arrested from Mirpur DOHS and placed on five-day remand, claimed he acted to help Tarique Rahman during the 2007–08 period, including facilitating his medical treatment abroad. Masud Uddin, detained from Baridhara DOHS and also on five-day remand, has been shifting blame to other former officers, saying he only tried to assist the Zia family.

Investigators report that both former generals have avoided direct answers about their alleged roles in torture, corruption, and political manipulation during the 1/11 period. Masud Uddin has accused former DGFI officials of implementing the “Minus Two Formula” and claimed India’s intelligence agency RAW planned the 1/11 government with DGFI involvement. Mamun Khaled faces allegations of large-scale corruption, enforced disappearances, and misuse of power during his tenure as DGFI chief.

Police sources indicate Masud Uddin may face further remand for questioning in murder and money laundering cases filed in Dhaka and Feni after the fall of the Awami League government.
