Retired Lieutenant General Masud Uddin Chowdhury denied allegations that he was involved in torturing Tarique Rahman during the 2007 'One-Eleven' period. The claim surfaced during a remand hearing in the Mirpur-based Delwar Hossain murder case at Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Monirul Islam’s court on Monday, April 27, 2026. The prosecution alleged that Masud was among those who physically assaulted Rahman, but the accused rejected the charge as completely false.

The hearing also addressed the prosecution’s request for a seven-day remand, arguing that Masud was a key figure during the 1/11 events and that further interrogation was necessary. Defense lawyer Touhidul Islam Sajib opposed the request, citing Masud’s health issues and previous remand periods totaling eight days without clear investigative progress. After hearing both sides, the court granted a three-day remand.

Masud was arrested on March 23 from Baridhara DOHS and has since been shown arrested in multiple cases, including those related to embezzlement and human trafficking, before being placed on successive remands.
