The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) has recovered 114 unidentified bodies of those killed during the July uprising. Among them, eight victims have been identified, according to information released by CID on Monday morning. The identified individuals include Faisal Sarkar, Parvez Bepari, Rafiqul Islam (52), Mahim, Sohel Rana, Asanullah, Kabil Hossain, and Rafiqul Islam (29).

Earlier, on August 4, Dhaka Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Mohammad Mostafizur Rahman ordered the exhumation of the bodies following a police petition filed by Sub-Inspector Mahidul Islam of Mohammadpur Police Station. The exhumation process began on December 7.

The 114 victims had been buried anonymously at the Rayerbazar cemetery in Mohammadpur after being killed during last year’s anti-discrimination movement. The CID’s identification effort marks a significant step toward recognizing the victims of the July uprising.
