Thirty-five former members of the Bangladesh Rifles (BDR) were released from Kashimpur Central Jail in Gazipur on Monday evening after receiving bail in a case filed under the Explosives Control Act related to the 2009 BDR mutiny. The release began around 6:30 p.m., following verification of bail documents that arrived earlier in the day. Among those freed, one was from the high-security unit, two from Central Jail Part-1, and thirty-two from Part-2. Family members gathered outside the prison to welcome their relatives, expressing relief and gratitude after years of uncertainty. The BDR mutiny, which took place on February 25, 2009, at the Pilkhana headquarters in Dhaka, resulted in the deaths of 74 people, including 57 army officers. The subsequent trials became the largest in Bangladesh’s history, with hundreds convicted and many still serving sentences. The latest releases follow a court order granting bail to 53 individuals last week.
