Two former senior military officers, Lt Gen (retd) Masud Uddin Chowdhury and Lt Gen (retd) Sheikh Mamun Khaled, are under renewed police remand in Dhaka over allegations linked to the controversial 1/11 caretaker government period. According to court proceedings on March 30, Masud was placed on a six-day remand in a human trafficking case after completing a previous five-day term, while Mamun Khaled’s five-day remand in a separate murder case was set to end the same day. Investigators allege both were involved in secret late-night meetings with Sheikh Hasina before her release from detention during the 1/11 period.
The report cites interrogation details claiming that the 1/11 government was planned with alleged coordination between certain DGFI officials and Indian intelligence, aiming to sideline major political parties. Both officers are also accused of large-scale corruption, including embezzlement and extortion through recruitment syndicates that exploited migrant workers. Prosecutors told the court that the syndicate collected billions of taka through illegal fees and coercion.
Investigators said further remand was necessary to recover embezzled funds and clarify operational details of the agencies involved in overseas labor recruitment.
