Former DGFI chief Lt Gen (Retd) Sheikh Mamun Khaled has reportedly disclosed new information during his remand about the alleged masterminds behind Bangladesh’s 2007 ‘One-Eleven’ political episode. According to sources cited in the report, his statements are being verified as part of an ongoing investigation. The information allegedly exposes links among foreign intelligence, two influential newspapers, certain Awami League leaders, and members of civil society in orchestrating the events that led to the unconstitutional caretaker regime.
The report states that the planning for 1/11 began after the BNP-led alliance took power in 2001, with coordinated media campaigns and seminars aimed at discrediting politicians. Khaled claimed that the two newspapers acted as unofficial outlets for DGFI during the military-backed government, publishing unverified reports to justify the ‘minus two formula’ targeting top political leaders. He also mentioned connections between the editors, Indian intelligence officials, and other influential figures.
Investigators are reportedly examining Khaled’s statements to determine the extent of involvement of those named. Sources indicated that further legal steps will follow after verification of the information.
