After 16 years of anticipation, an independent commission has submitted a 400-page report on the 2009 Pilkhana massacre, unveiling previously undisclosed and sensitive information. The report implicates over 50 influential figures, including then-Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, former MP Barrister Fazle Noor Taposh, and several senior Awami League leaders, military officers, and intelligence officials. It alleges political approval, administrative inaction, and intelligence failures contributed to the tragedy that killed 74 people, including 57 army officers. The report claims Sheikh Hasina gave a 'green signal' for the operation, while Taposh coordinated with mutineers. It also accuses several ministers and military leaders of obstructing rescue operations and concealing facts. The Home Affairs adviser stated the ministry is reviewing the report seriously and will act on its recommendations. The findings have sparked renewed debate over accountability and transparency in one of Bangladesh’s most tragic national security incidents.
