Bangladesh Police’s Criminal Investigation Department (CID) has collected DNA samples from the remains of 114 unidentified victims buried at Rayerbazar, Dhaka, following the July mass uprising. The report was formally handed over on Wednesday, January 7, 2026, at the state guesthouse Jamuna to Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus. The initiative was conducted under the supervision of the Ministry of Liberation War Affairs, with support from the Home and Health Ministries. Between December 7 and 27, 2025, nine families provided DNA samples, leading to the identification of eight martyrs, all confirmed to have died from bullet wounds.
To ensure transparency and international standards, CID engaged forensic expert Dr. Morris Tidball Binz for technical guidance. CID urged families of those missing during the July–August uprising to contact its hotline for further identification efforts. During the handover, Chief Adviser Yunus thanked all involved, describing the initiative as a moral and humanitarian step toward truth and justice for families of the disappeared.
CID officials noted that on-site DNA testing enhanced police capabilities, while the Chief Adviser emphasized that the effort symbolizes the nation’s commitment to uncovering truth and restoring dignity to the victims.
