The Bangladesh government has extended the tenure of the National Independent Investigation Commission, formed to reinvestigate the 2009 BDR massacre, by an additional seven days until December 7. The Cabinet Division issued the extension notification on December 3. The commission, chaired by retired Major General A L M Fazlur Rahman, was initially given three months to submit its report, later extended multiple times. Although the commission submitted its report to Chief Adviser Dr. Muhammad Yunus on November 30, the government decided to extend the term to allow for final procedural completion. The commission was tasked with uncovering the nature and scope of the February 25–26, 2009 mutiny at the BDR headquarters in Pilkhana, Dhaka, which left 57 army officers dead. It was also directed to identify perpetrators, collaborators, and any domestic or foreign entities involved in the incident.
