A newly submitted report by Bangladesh’s National Independent Investigation Commission has revealed fresh evidence implicating several army officers in the 2009 Bangladesh Rifles (BDR) mutiny and the subsequent Pilkhana massacre. According to testimonies from key witnesses, including prisoner witness No. 14, a secret meeting took place on February 24, 2009, the night before the massacre, where rebel soldiers planned to take their commanding officers hostage using ropes and knives. The report also cites witness No. 65, who confirmed that weapons from three battalions were stored in the central quarter guard and that certain officers were assigned duty there days before the attack. The mutiny, which occurred on February 25–26, 2009, at the BDR headquarters in Dhaka, resulted in the brutal killing of 57 army officers. The commission, after an 11-month investigation, handed over its findings to the chief adviser, shedding new light on one of Bangladesh’s darkest chapters.
